About This Book
In the cozy world of Cobbled Court Quilts, winter in New Bern, Connecticut, brings a slower rhythm—but not quieter hearts. When Garrett proposes to his girlfriend Liza on New Year's Eve, the moment that should be purely joyful instead opens up a tangle of doubts, longings, and competing dreams. Liza is talented, young, and standing at the threshold of her own life. Garrett is steady, devoted, and certain. The question Marie Bostwick asks is one many readers have faced: can love be both real and badly timed?
What distinguishes this third installment in the Cobbled Court Quilts series is Bostwick's gift for making domesticity feel genuinely rich rather than merely comfortable. The quilting shop and its circle of women aren't backdrop—they're the emotional architecture of the story, the place where characters say what they can't say anywhere else. Bostwick writes with warmth that never tips into sentimentality, and her pacing respects the reader's intelligence. This is quiet fiction that earns its emotional weight scene by scene, stitch by stitch.
