After learning of her family's ties to the slaveholding South,
Sylvia Compson scours her attic for clues and discovers a window
into the world of her ancestors: the memoir of her
great-grandfather's spinster sister,
Gerda Bergstrom. Gerda's memoir chronicles the founding of Elm
Creek Manor and the tumultuous years when Hans, Anneke, and Gerda
Bergstrom sheltered fugitive slaves within its walls, using quilts
as a signal of sanctuary. But little did the staunchly abolitionist
Gerda know that a traitor was among them, placing the Bergstroms in
grave danger and leading to family discord, betrayal, and a secret
held for generations.
With the help of the Elm Creek Quilters and clues hidden within
antique quilts discovered in the manor's attic, Sylvia stitches
together the pieces of her past and decodes the true nature of the
Bergstrom legacy.
