Some secrets are stitched too carefully to stay hidden.
Miriam Yoder came home to Maple Grove expecting only grief, gossip, and the difficult work of facing the family she left behind.
Instead, her grandmother’s final gift places an exquisite star quilt in Miriam’s hands—and hidden among its perfect seams are stitches that do not belong. A wrong shade of thread. A crooked line. A pattern only Miriam can see.
As she follows the quilt’s quiet clues, old questions begin to surface about a long-buried barn collapse and the secrets Maple Grove has worked hard to forget. With the community watching, her former fiancé keeping his distance, and danger stirring beneath the plainest of appearances, Miriam must decide whether some truths are worth unraveling.
Because in Maple Grove, secrets are not always spoken.
Sometimes, they are stitched.
