Borrowed from the Internet Archive. Have wanted to read for sometime. Fitting now, as I mid-way my first quilt. My Covid quilt.

Just starting to read this book - it's written by a dear friend and has been on my list for a while. A great way to go into March, Read a New Book Month!

I was looking for something engaging without a heavy emotional toll. Off to a good start.

Intrigues me from the start.
