What’s that?” “Well, it seems many of the women weren’t coordinating with their stitches, and they needed someone to-“ “Don’t tell me. Celia is down there telling them all how their quilts should be sewn.”…

“You were young, Nicholas,” she said, hoping to relieve his burden. “You weren’t his father. You were a young man trying to fill a father’s shoes. You did what you thought was best for him-for your entire family.” “But it wasn’t best. If I’d done things differently-“ “We all find out the hard way that…
