I saw the title and cover of this book and knew I wanted to read it!
About the book:
Christmas should be celebrated with family. But for Vera Swanson, that's not an option this year. Widowed and recently relocated, she is lonely in her condo-for-one--until little Fiona Albright knocks on her door needing help. With her mother seriously ill and her father out of town, Fiona enlists Vera's help, and when she finds out her new neighbor is a quilter, she has a special request--a Christmas quilt for Mama.
Vera will have to get a ragtag group of women together in order to fulfill the request. Between free-spirited artist Tasha, chatty empty nester Beverly, retired therapist Eleanor, and herself, Vera has hopes that Christmas for the Albright family will be merry, after all--and she may find herself a new family of friends along the way.
Bestselling and award-winning author Melody Carlson invites you to cuddle up this holiday season with this cozy story of giving, forgiving, and a little bit of romance.
My thoughts:
This was an enjoyable book to read and a quick read for me. I appreciated the variety of characters, learning a little about each of them, and seeing how they all come together to make a little girl's wish for her Mama come true. I will admit I was annoyed with one character named Eleanor at first and how she treated the other ladies. It was interesting to find out her story and the hurt she had experienced in life. Themes in the book include friendship, forgiveness, and caring for those in need.

Since I am a quilter now I enjoyed that aspect of the book as well. Check out this book to put you in the Christmas spirit.
