When Sylvia Compson, a renowned quilter, discovers a trove of letters in the attic of Elm Creek Manor, she is drawn into the history of an escaped slave named Joanna. Joanna had spent a brief time at Elm Creek Farm before being captured and returned to bondage, leaving her son under the care of the Bergstrom family. To learn what ultimately became of Joanna and her son, Sylvia must piece together the clues left by Joanna, including a delicate heirloom quilt she stitched before her departure. Through meticulous research and the loom’s whisper, the story explores family ties, the legacies of slavery, and the enduring power of quiltmaking.
