Jennifer Chiaverini’s bestselling Elm Creek Quilts series continues with The Winding Ways Quilt, in which the arrival of newcomers into the circle of quilters heralds unexpected journeys down pathways near and far.

Quilters have flocked to Elm Creek Manor to learn from Master Quilter Sylvia Compson and her expert colleagues. There’s Sarah, Sylvia’s onetime apprentice who’s paired her quilting accomplishments with a mind for running the business of Elm Creek Quilts; Agnes, who has a gift for appliqué; Gwen, who stitches innovative art quilts; Diane, a whiz at the technicalities of quick-piecing; and Bonnie, with her encyclopedic knowledge of folk art patterns. But with Judy and Summer, two other founding members of the Elm Creek Quilters, departing to pursue other opportunities, will the new teachers be able to fill in the gaps created by the loss of their expertise—and more important, their friendship?

But what of friends departed? As Sylvia contemplates a tribute to the partnership of the Elm Creek Quilters, she is reminded of a traditional quilt pattern whose curved pieces symbolize a journey. Winding Ways, a mosaic of overlapping circles and intertwining curves, would capture the spirit of their friendship at the moment of its transformation.

Will Sylvia’s choice inspire the founding members to remember that each is a unique part of a magnificent whole? Will the newcomers find ways to contribute, and to earn their place? The Winding Ways Quilt considers the complicated, often hidden meanings of presence and absence, and what change can mean for those who have come to rely upon one another.

I am no lass bound for a life of tending hearths and bairns. Warrior’s blood courses through my veins and the day I grasped a wooden sword I found my purpose in a forgotten valley, where the last beacon of hope for our broken clan still shines. Now, it’s my turn to rise.

My name is Flora Kerr, and I am a rebel.

Finn, who first believed in my prowess, stood by me, vowing to protect me as we swore to reclaim our clan’s future together.

But everything changed the day I saved a man’s life…

None of my training prepared me for Seamus, the heir to the disgraced Laird Murray. But his eyes are telling me that he is much more than the coward he lets other people think of him; he is a living contradiction. He unsettles me, stirring emotions I’ve never known. Finn’s touch, once my only comfort, pales against Seamus’ wicked smile and intense stare, it leaves me empty.

If Seamus, the enemy’s kin, sees worth in my words, then let him be my unlikely ally. Hatred and prejudice won’t win this war—but a desperate-for-freedom spirit might. I refuse to be sidelined in a struggle that demands my spirit and sword.

My name is Flora, and I swear I will put an end to Campbell’s tyranny.

But soon people start to notice: why don’t they join backyard barbecues? Why do they brush away offers to babysit? Why, when you knock at the door, do they shut you out, rather than inviting you in?

Every family has secrets, and on the hottest day of the year, the truth is about to come out. As a tragedy unfolds behind closed doors, the dawn chorus is split by the wail of sirens. And one by one the families who tried so hard to welcome the Wests begin to realise: Hogarth Street will never be the same again.

Who said you can’t go home again? In Veronica Davis’s case, who’d want to—especially when you hail from Fossil, Washington? But now she’s back among the kooks and crazies, the small-time losers and the jerks who think she’s fair game just because she’s in a waitress uniform.

The truth is, Veronica’s the boss—at least until she can sell the family saloon and skip town again as fast as her pretty legs can carry her—and nobody knows that better than Cooper Blackstock. From his place behind the bar, the former Special Forces Marine sees everything. And his undercover agenda has made the feisty boss-lady’s troubles his own.

And her troubles are considerable, what with a family in turmoil, a pseudo-bartender with dangerous secrets, a murder investigation and death threats. Though the town surprisingly rallies in support, it’s still a good thing that Cooper will be there to catch Veronica if she stumbles—if he doesn’t start falling himself.
