After her Aunt Teza’s test results turn out to be inconclusive, Dot
Cooper resolves to raise money for a new mammogram machine, through the
creation and auction of a magnificent, king-sized quilt to be sewn by
the women of Jefferson City.
Dot’s efforts quickly draw the
support of disparate members of the community, including newcomer Beth
Donnelly, married to a local pastor; Elaine Giovanni, the stylish wife
of a local surgeon; and an
ailing Aunt Teza. But as the four different
generations work the squares of the quilt, they are also confronted
with ragged pieces of their own lives.
Though the women could
not be more different on the surface, they hold in common quiet
suffering triggered by painful circumstances: the death of children,
the abandonment of husbands, the loneliness of depression. Yet their
struggles will bring them closer together than they ever could have
anticipated, and their lives will be dramatically changed, as together
they experience the curative powers of The Healing Quilt.
Review by Sharon:
This story is about the lives of four women from different walks of lives with
different struggles. Through the plan of one in creating a quilt to benefit the
raising of money for a new mammogram, these women get together to work on the
quilt and in turn the fellowship and sharing of their life concerns becomes a
door to spiritual healing and a change in each of their lives for the better for
all of them. I would highly recommend this book for anyone that is struggling
with any kind of problems and through the leading of the Lord the problems will
not seem as impossible as it does. I received this book free from a friend to
read.
