A Single Thread by Marie Bostwick.Evelyn Dixon has been fascinated with color since she was a young girl. That passion for color found expression in quilting. So, when her husband divorces her for a younger woman, Evelyn moves to New England and resurrects the dream she had let die to open a quilt shop. In order to drum up business, Evelyn hosts a charity quilting event for breast cancer awareness. The inspiring stories she hears from her customers motivates her to have herself examined the day before the event. What she thought would be a routine exam changes everything. Suddenly, living alone in a town far from anyone she knows while running a business by herself becomes overwhelming. That is until she meets three women at her charity event: Margot, a recently laid-off businesswoman, Abigail, a wealthy woman with many acquaintances but no friends, and Abigail's rebellious niece Liza who forces Abigail to come to the event with threats of embarrassing her.
This was a lovely, heartwarming story that I couldn't put down. I would recommend A Single Thread for all generations of women. Two characters are a little two good to be true, but the rest of the characters are extremely well developed. I loved following both Evelyn's struggles and triumphs in her new life and the evolving relationship between Liza and Abigail. There is rumor that there will be a sequel, and I am definitely looking forward to it.
