    About this audiobook

    Linda Davis’s local fabric shop is a place where women gather to share their creations: quilts commemorating important events in their lives. Wedding quilts, baby quilts, memorial quilts—each is bound tight with dreams, hopes, and yearnings.

    Now, as her only child readies for college, Linda is torn between excitement for Molly and heartache for herself. Who will she be when she is no longer needed in her role as mom? What will become of her days? Of her marriage?

    Mother and daughter decide to share one last adventure together—a cross-country road trip to move Molly into her dorm. As they wend their way through the heart of the country, Linda stitches together the scraps that make up Molly’s young life. And in the quilting of each bit of fabric—the hem of a christening gown, a snippet from a Halloween costume—Linda discovers that the memories of a shared journey can come together in a way that will keep them both warm in the years to come....

      My year off was also interesting, in that I didn’t feel any less loved, or cherished, or wanted. Why? Because my life is already rich with soulmates, and I got the chance to behold that. You don’t have to shag someone for them to be a soulmate. We do

    • 1/5
      Long, boring, sad, pointless, whiney, repetitive. Thought it would never end.
    • 5/5
      Great story and the voice reading it was easy to listen too!
    • 5/5
      It is a good, quick listen. Good cathartic story if you have a daughter moving from home to college and you are figuring out what you want to do.
    • 3/5
      I've listened to hundreds of audiobooks and this is probably the sappiest story I've ever listened to. I really could not relate to the mother, who is the main character. However, if you're a person who truly loves Hallmark movies you're going to love this book. It just wasn't really my style of story. It was well written and well performed.
