Threading the Needle by Marie BostwickMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
4.0/5.0 - This officially moves Marie Bostwick onto the "Authors that I've 5 or more books" list! A Christian author, she doesn't come across as preachy, she just quietly shows how having God in your life makes it better. In this Cobbled Court Quilts offering, two childhood friends turned enemies both move back to their hometown of New Bern, CT. Tessa and her husband Lee come here to escape the rat race of corporate life and the busyness of Boston. They are struggling during a poor economy with trying to get two small businesses (a farm and an herb shop) up and running. Madelyn returns to a town she thought she'd never see again, when her husband, a Wall Street mogul turns out to be the next Bernie Madoff and everything they own is taken away, and he is sent to prison. Madelyn doesn't have happy memories of living here, but her (cruel) grandmother has left her the house and that provides her a place to live and start over.
Anchoring the town are the women of the Cobbled Court Quilt shop and circle, and they provide friendship and support to these newcomers. Finding their way back, moving on from the past, healing for the future and learning to trust again are all themes that play out on these pages.
