Having moved to Pennsylvania, Sarah found herself alone and confused - no job, no close friends. And suddenly - an unexpected offer: to become an assistant to seventy-year-old Sylvia Compson. At first, Sarah didn’t like the old woman at all, and she was ready to give up the job, but quite by chance she saw an amazing handmade patchwork quilt that Sylvia had made. Is a sharp-tongued old lady who lives as a hermit really capable of creating such a miracle? And that decided it all. Sarah agreed to Sylvia’s proposal and received not only a job, but much more - she learned how to sew blankets and heard from Sylvia many stories about women who had once experienced betrayal, but did not lose faith in goodness and love. Colorful scraps under nimble needles became the most beautiful blankets , and the amazing stories told by Sylvia gave Sarah self-confidence: if the heroines of these stories could cope with difficulties, then she could definitely do it too.
