Jennifer Chiaverini's beloved and bestselling Elm Creek Quilts
series returns with the first Elm Creek Quilts novel since 2019's
The Christmas Boutique. Summer Sullivan, the youngest founding
member of Elm Creek Quilts, has spent the last two years pursuing a
master's degree in history at the University of Chicago. Her
unexpected return home to the celebrated quilter's retreat is met
with delight but also concern from her mother, Gwen; her best
friend, Sarah; master quilter Sylvia; and her other colleagues--and
rightly so. Stymied by writer's block, Summer hasn't finished her
thesis, and she can't graduate until she does. Elm Creek Manor
offers respite while Summer struggles to meet her extended
deadline. She finds welcome distraction in organizing an exhibit of
antique quilts as a fundraiser to renovate Union Hall, the 1863
Greek Revival headquarters of the Waterford Historical Society. But
Summer's research uncovers startling facts about Waterford's past,
prompting unsettling questions about racism, economic injustice,
and political corruption within their community, past and present.
As Summer's work progresses, quilt lovers and history buffs praise
the growing collection, but affronted local leaders demand that she
remove all references to Waterford's troubled history. As
controversy threatens the exhibit's success, Summer fears that her
pursuit of the truth might cost the Waterford Historical Society
their last chance to save Union Hall. Her only hope is to rally the
quilting community to her cause. The Museum of Lost Quilts is a
warm and deeply moving story about the power of collective memory.
With every fascinating quilt she studies, Summer finds her passion
for history renewed--and discovers a promising new future for
herself.
