While quilter Martha Rose awaits the birth of her granddaughter, a neighborhood girl appears at her door with a mystery that can’t be pinned down . .

Martha’s eager to finish the baby quilt she’s making for her new granddaughter, but she scraps those plans when a young girl rings her doorbell begging for help. Poppy Halaby, the foster child of Martha’s neighbor, is an orphan whose parents were murdered by a killer who was never caught. When Poppy’s doting foster mom falls suspiciously ill, Martha is determined to keep the child safe. But she’ll have to unravel more about Poppy’s parents to stitch a broken family back together again—and prevent another crime cut from the same cloth . . .


 WOW that was exciting. I just finished and my emotions are still running high as I write this review.
While this is a crime story, it is just as much a love story. It is abut family and secrets and hopes and dreams and learning to live when life does not turn out as planned.

When two people marry against their families wishes, the ripple effect is massive. No one could predict all the people affected. Then there is the greed aspect underlying motivations. Caught in the center is a little girl, wiser beyond her eight years.
A deeply complicated mystery involving murder, secret communications, and more than one very determined woman.

Along the way we learn ethnic and religious customs, get some fabulous quilting tips and enjoy delicious food. Some of it has the potential to be heartbreaking yet there is underlying hope.
Overall - EXCITING. And you can follow along even if you have not read previous books in this wonderful series.
