This novel, the latest in the Circle of Quilters series, transports us back in time as we learn about the ancestors of the current Elm Creek Quilters. This story takes us on a journey to California during the roaring twenties with bride and groom, Elizabeth and Henry Nelson. They leave the comfort of their family homestead in Pennsylvania to strike out on their own, only to find loneliness and hardship. Swindled out of their life savings they are forced to begin working for others on the land they thought was theirs. We are transported back even further to the 1800?s as we get to know Rosa Diaz and her ancestors. How Rosa, Elizabeth, Henry and the Jorgensen?s learn to live with each other is a moving tribute to the pioneer?s persevering spirit.
