The Sugar Camp Quilt

By: Jennifer Chiaverini

Narrated by: Christina Moore

Jennifer Chiaverini's New York Times best-selling Elm Creek Quilt novels, with their irresistible blend of storytelling magic and quilting lore, have captured the hearts of countless fans. In this moving novel about morality, freedom, and the power of human courage, Chiaverini whisks listeners back to antebellum America.

As the nation moves toward civil war, one resident of Creek's Crossing, Pennsylvania, has her life irrevocably changed. Dorothea Granger is asked by her uncle, shortly before his violent death, to stitch an unusual quilt. When she learns that the quilt contains hidden clues for the Underground Railroad, Dorothea makes a brave decision. She will put her own life at risk to continue the work that cost her uncle his life.

The Dallas Morning News hails the Elm Creek Quilt books as "classics of their kind", and this stirring historical yarn is another satisfying entry in the series.

Critic reviews

"Even a newcomer to the popular Elm Creek Quilts series will quickly get caught up in the lives of the ladies who stitch." (Publishers Weekly)

Another great book in the series

I liked the history in this book. It brought us back to Dorothea and the underground railroad. Truly enjoyed the story.

Amazing

Oh, how I wasn’t ready for the end, made me long for more. Now on to next book in series.

Poor Narration.

The problem I have with the narrator is that she sounds the same every single time she is being someone else. She makes her voice and her words clipped and sound silly. I think Jennifer’s writings are great but she needs to find a better narrator.u

Rich real-bodied characters

I felt joy in the discovery of the characters as they developed throughout the book to the very end.

audio book

I enjoyed this book on audio. The reader was very entertaining with voice changes and kept the story moving nicly.
