A Thread So Thin

The Cobbled Court Series, Book 3

By: Marie Bostwick

Narrated by: Pam Ward, Julia Whelan

New York Times best-selling author Marie Bostwick crafts a timeless tale of friendship, love, and the choices we must make in their name.

While New Bern, Connecticut, lies under a blanket of snow, Cobbled Court Quilts remains a cozy haven for its owner, Evelyn Dixon, and her friends. Evelyn relishes winter’s slower pace—besides, Internet sales are hopping, thanks to her son Garrett’s efforts. In addition to helping out at the shop, Garrett has also been patiently waiting for his girlfriend, Liza, to finish art school in New York City. But as much as Evelyn loves Liza, she wonders if it’s a good idea for her son to be so serious so soon with a young woman who’s just getting ready to spread her wings.

Liza’s wondering the same thing, especially after Garrett rolls out the red carpet for a super-romantic New Year’s Eve—complete with a marriage proposal. Garrett’s the closest thing to perfect she’s ever known, but what about her own imperfections? The only happy marriage Liza has ever seen is her aunt Abigail’s, and it took her decades to tie the knot. Soon Liza is not only struggling with her own fears but with the mixed reactions of her friends and family. And when she finds herself torn between a rare career opportunity and her love for Garrett, Liza must grasp at the thinnest of threads and pray it holds.

Women

The wonderful characters and all their separate lives so different-intricately the same of heart. All wrapped in a wonderful blanket of patches as colorful and different, sewn together by friendship!! The best stories can’t wait for each one!!!

A Thread So Thin

A very nice story about a quilters circle of friends and the journey’s their lives take. Although mostly about one couples journey to truly understand what Love is, it shows the many ways different couples find their true meaning of love. A good book, I just wish the main couple had finally found their wedding day too!! Perhaps they will!

Review

Awesome storyline! Love it! Surprised at the end. I was hoping Lizza and Garrett would get married but I guess that’s for another book!!

A charming tale of growing up

I wasn't quite expecting a coming-of-age tale from a book about middle-aged (mostly) women, but this was truly a delightful tale of making decisions and deciding who you are. From a young engagement to matters of aging, it's a wonderfully told story bustling with loveable characters and their dramas.

enjoyable

I am an amateur Quilter so the threads of time I spent listening made me want to quilt something. I would love to have Virginia as my mother. My mother was fabulous and taught me to sew.
