Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The bestselling Elm Creek Quilts series continues, as Master Quilter Sylvia Compson's investigation of her ancestry reveals unexpected connections to a long-forgotten visitor to Elm Creek Manor.
In 1859, a runaway slave and quilter named Joanna traveled the Underground Railroad to Elm Creek Farm -- only to be captured and forcibly returned to Virginia. More than a century later, Master Quilter Sylvia Bergstrom Compson recovers a bundle of letters that Joanna wrote from South Carolina. Reading transports Sylvia into the thick of the Civil War and to Edisto Island in the years afterward, where a group of ex-slaves formed a quilting circle.
