When Lizzie Du Bose inherits a handmade quilt willed to her by a
maternal grandmother she has never met, her life is forever
changed. The figures sewn into the quilt tell the stories of
Lizzie's grandmother Grace, and Grace's grandmother Ayo, who was
abducted from Africa as a girl and sent as a slave to America. As
Lizzie learns, the quilt seems to hold the key to a past that
haunts her, at first through terrifyingly lifelike dreams, and
finally through visions that seem to take Lizzie back in time,
fusing her own life with the lives of Grace and Ayo.
One night, Lizzie awakens to find the quilt soaked in blood, and
discovers horrible wounds on her wrists and back. Wracked with
pain, Lizzie has no memory of having harmed herself, but she
believes Ayo's manacle scars have appeared on her own body -- as
real an inheritance as Grace's quilt. Now Lizzie must decide
whether she has begun a descent into madness, or made an
extraordinary connection to the past. A compelling and utterly
intriguing tale, Stigmata weaves together the stories of three
women at once blessed with a powerful vision, and cursed by a
shared legacy of slavery, pain, and struggle.
