Reviews

Praise for Jennifer Chiaverini and the Elm Creek Quilts series "Chiaverini's themes of love, loss, and healing will resonate with many, and her characters' stories are inspiring." -Publishers Weekly "Chiaverini has an impressive ability to bring a time and place alive." -Romantic Times Book Reviews "Emotionally compelling." -Chicago Tribune on Sonoma Rose "Jennifer Chiaverini has made quite a name for herself with her bestselling Elm Creek Quilts series. From the Civil War to the Roaring Twenties to contemporary settings, these novels have offered suspense, romance, and, at times, in-depth looks into the social, political, and cultural differences that helped shape a nation." -BookPage "Chiaverini excels at weaving stories and at character development. We can relate to the residents of Elm Creek Valley because they remind us of folks we know-a cousin, an aunt, or a grandmother." -Standard-Examiner (Utah)
