Jennifer Chiaverini's new Elm Creek Quilts novel beautifully weaves together quilting, family, community, and history. As fall colors paint Pennsylvania, Sylvia Bergstrom Compson grapples with financial strain on her cherished quilt camp and family estate. Her determination to uphold her legacy leads to Summer Sullivan's visit, requesting Sylvia's antique quilt for a historical exhibit. Created for the 1933 World's Fair, the quilt illustrates societal progress but also caused friction between Sylvia and her sister. Revisiting its story with Summer, Sylvia unearths an unexpected discovery, reigniting her appreciation for the quilt and offering hope for Elm Creek Quilts' future.
As The Griffin Sisters, pop sensations Cassie and Zoe Grossberg defined the aughts before a sudden, turbulent breakup two decades ago. Musical genius Cassie preferred the shadows, while confident Zoe craved fame. Now estranged, Zoe warns her daughter Cherry away from the spotlight, unaware that Cherry's digging into their past. As long-buried secrets emerge, all three women must confront their choices, desires, and complex family bonds. The Griffin Sisters' Greatest Hits delivers richly drawn characters, a nostalgic 2000s backdrop, and a compelling story of ambition, forgiveness, and the enduring power of family.
