Author: Sandra Dallas

KDL Description:

When city girl Rita marries local boy Tom and they move back to the farm, Queenie Bean goes out of her way to welcome them. She also encourages Rita to become part of the local quilting group, known as the Persian Pickle Club, so called because it refers to a particular paisley fabric owned by member Ceres Root. Rita, however, underestimates the importance of the Pickle Club, and in her haste to make a name for herself as a reporter, tries to solve the mysterious death of Ella Crook’s husband, Ben. She discovers the members’ lives are as tightly stitched together as their quilts. Readers may also enjoy heartwarming novels by Fannie Flagg, Camilla Bittle, and Connie May Fowler’s Sugar Cage.
