Critic reviews

"Highly recommended." ( Liibrary Journal)

good story

I have read several of the elm creek novels and this was was very good.
I enjoyed hearing about each of the quilters lives and how they are handling evething

this was a very nice listen

Loved it.

Although the series doesn't have to be read in order, I am on a mission to do so. This book fills in some of the history of the 21st century characters.

More Than Just a Story

Christina Moore narrates this story superbly. I have listened to this story before and, as before, loved it. It is the perfect play along regardless of what I am doing. Driving, cooking, gardening even when working in my studio. Jennifer Chiaverini writes a marvelous story about the Elm Creek Quilters. The character development flows well and occurs at the right time in the story. I never had a moment where I wished the story would end, but I had several moments where I was sorry I had to stop listening. :)

Loved it, but . . .

I really enjoyed this book and this series, but one of the main characters - Sarah, is not very likable. She is a self-centered, unempathetic young woman. Love everything else about the books.

A wonderful story of love, acceptance, friendship and hardship.

I enjoyed this story so much. All of the characters come more to life in this second book in the series. But of course it leaves you wanting more to know what happens to all these lovely people.. a definite feel good book and a great one to listen to while quilting as well!

Series continued nicely

Narrator was consistent with the first book. Author continued the story well. If someone just picked this book for its title and didn't read the first one, I think they would be just fine understanding the storyline.

Sisters are made

Through shared love and support Real families are stitched together. Experience is thicker than blood sometimes. And true love is not based on physicality.

This story importance of Building relationships, giving and receiving forgiveness and the healing power of Love!

I loved this story idea and all of the characters. However sometimes I struggled with remembering who and how the characters were related. There was a lot going on and a lot of backtracking in the story lines of the main characters.
I did have to rewind and listen to some of the characters back stories.
However, the "threads" of Love connected all the stories in the end.

Love the series, issues with chapter breaks

I really enjoy this series so far. This version has a problem where the chapter breaks don’t line up with the clock, not even close. You hear the narrator say the new chapter in the middle of how the timer has broken down the chapters. So if I set my timer to stop at the end of a chapter, it will end up stopping somewhere in the middle of the chapter. Doesn’t change the story, but does unify the listening experience.

Lovely

What a lovely delightful book to listen to.
Looking forward to the next in the series.
