Marie Bostwick writes about women, faith, renewal, and friendship. The Cobbled Court Quilt series follows the lives of different women who forge a connection and deep friendships through Evelyn Dixon's Cobbled Court Quilt shop.
Tessa Woodruff and her husband Lee left the corporate world in Boston to follow their dreams of a simpler life, Lee as a farmer and Tessa as an herbalist who sells her lavender scented lotions and soaps in her own shop, Love of Lavender. In New Bern, CT, where Tessa grew up, they hope to find contentment and success, but the poor economy threatens their idyllic world.
Madelyn Beecher Baron, whose wildly successful husband has been convicted of running a Ponzi scheme, has lost everything in the world except for Beecher Cottage in New Bern, left to her reluctantly by the miserable grandmother who grudgingly raised her after the death of her son, Madelyn's father. Madelyn and Tessa were best friends until their early teenage years when their relationship fell apart and they haven't seen each other in 40 years. Each of them finds serenity and friendship through a quilting group at Cobbled Court Quilts. They also find the friendship lost so many years ago.
In this political climate, we desperately need stories where people are kind and loving, patient and unselfish. You can always find these characters in Bostwick's novels. Knowing that we can survive bad times and that people care enough to just be there when we need them is a wonderful gift and Bostwick has a talent for creating characters that do just this. I am looking forward to the next in this series.
