HTML:<p><b>A woman in a failing marriage discovers a new pattern for living in the quilting series from the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Ties That Bind</i>.</b><br /> <br /> Twice in her life, college counselor Gayla Oliver fell in love at first sight. The first time was with Brian—a lean, longhaired, British bass player. Marriage followed quickly, then twins, and gradually their bohemian lifestyle gave way to busy careers in New York. Gayla's second love affair is with New Bern, Connecticut. Like Brian, the laid-back town is charming without trying too hard. It's the ideal place to buy a second home and reignite the spark in their twenty-six-year marriage. Not that Gayla is worried. At least, not until she finds a discarded memo in which Brian admits to a past affair and suggests an amicable divorce.<br /> <br /> Devastated, Gayla flees to New Bern. Though Brian insists he's since recommitted to his family, Gayla's feelings of betrayal may go too deep for forgiveness. Besides, her solo sabbatical is a chance to explore the creative impulses she sidelined long ago—quilting, gardening, and striking up new friendships with the women of the Cobbled Court circle—particularly Ivy, a single mother confronting fresh starts and past hurts of her own. With all of their support, Gayla just might find the courage to look ahead, decide which fragments of her old life she wants to keep, which are beyond repair—and how to knot the fraying ends until a bold new design reveals itself . . .<br /> <br /> <b>Praise for the Cobbled Court Quilts series</b><br /> <br /> "Filled with wit and wisdom." —Susan Wiggs, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author<br /> <br /> "Warmly nourishing, emotionally compelling." —<i>Chicago Tribune</i></p>.
