When her husband of fifty years begins to slip into madness, Lily Butler turns for help to her only daughter.

Jo Anne Cassity pits the owners of rival stores in a competition to bid for a handmade quilt-and each other's affections. Linda Shertzer tells of a man who demands the return of a keepsake quilt from a young widow, and tries not to fall in love. Christina Cordaire follows a modern career woman who finds herself flung back to the 1840s-who now must work to save the unraveling relationship of wayward lovebirds.
