The Sugar Camp Quilt (Elm Creek Quilts Series #7)

The New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Chiaverini blends danger, courage, and romance in this novel of antebellum America in the beloved Elm Creek Quilts series.

Set in Creek’s Crossing, Pennsylvania, in the years leading up to the Civil War, the novel follows Dorothea Granger’s passage from innocence to wisdom against the harrowing backdrop of the American struggle over slavery. She discovers that a quilt she has stitched for her uncle Jacob with five unusual patterns of his own design contains hidden clues to guide runaway slaves along the Underground Railroad. The heroic journey she undertakes leads to revelations about her own courage and resourcefulness–newfound qualities that may win her the heart of the best man she has ever known.
