by Marie Bostwick. (Find the Book)
Margot Matthews is miserable. Her 40th birthday comes on the heels of the end of her relationship with local lawyer Arnie Kinsella and has convinced Margot that she may never meet the love of her life. Through a series of life-changing events, including a tragedy that nearly severs the relationship she has with her parents, Margot discovers that maybe she was never as alone as she thought. Though this is the fifth book (after Threading the Needle) in Bostwick's quilting series, readers need not have read the others. Bostwick seamlessly introduces characters and recaps their backstories enough for new readers to focus on the action from the start of the novel. Verdict Unexpected twists for Margot and other town residents help move the action along and make the story more interesting than a run-of-the-mill novel about a woman bemoaning her lack of a love life. Those who enjoy reading about close-knit friends who come together in times of need (such as Neta Jackson's "Yada Yada Prayer Group" series) will enjoy this title. -- Library Journal Review.
