Needed a copy editor, too. I counted at least three Capital “A”s missing. Maybe 4. Three of them were the beginnings of the name Adam. My first clue was when the sentence began “dam” did or said such-and-so. The second clue was when a different sentence began “res” said blah blah. Ares, the agent... But the really sad piece of writing that deserved a decent editor was that surrounding the character of Grace, who was attempting to deal with MS. This should have been one of the strongest segments of the book, but was ruined because suddenly, with no introduction, after spending a full week at Quilt Camp with the character, we are told Grace is African American. What a great idea—but how poorly executed. Flash forward three or four scenes, and we find out that although Grace should be used to being stared at because she is Black, she can’t handle being stared at because she uses Canada braces. It really seems like having this powerful character was mashed up with a person of color as an afterthought—perhaps 5 minutes before the book went to the printer. Shame on Simon & Schuster! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"...a carpenter taught me it's possible to transform your life even when all manner of obstacles are placed before you." (p.355) observed one character. And the group of quilting friends support and encourage each other as they piece together their "challenge" quilt. Brava! ( )
