The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards is a good read. I read it last weekend and it really held my interest. The young wife of a young doctor gives birth in a snowstorm, and the ramifications of that last for a generation. Most of the book is set in the 1950's and 1960's.
I work in a Libaray and run a cross and book that looked good it is The Art of Mending BY Elizabeth Berg one of the siblings is a quilter look in to it Happy
