Really quick read, lots about love and quilting ( )

I like it, but I don't think it's something I'd go out of my way to re-read again. I can relate better to Molly than Linda because I've gone to college (out of state) and spent four years away from my parents. It helped me grow and to form my own ideas about the world.

I still feel for Linda because I know that a lot of parents hate the transition from a family to a "childless couple." It's quiet. It's different. But it can be a great time to rejuvenate your relationship or to pursue your own interests as individuals.

If you're at this kind of transition in your life, this book would probably resonate well with you. Pick it up. Read it. :-) ( )

Cute story of mother and daughter and letting go. I love this kind of story so heart-warming. I borrowed the audio version so I can finished my craft projects while listening to it. Definitely engaging and a good read. ( )
