The Sugar Camp Quilt
by Jennifer Chiaverini
ISBN-10: 0743260198
Book 7 in the Elm Creek Quilts Series
The book in the series takes us into the world of Creek's Crossing, Pennsylvania prior to the Civil War, with friends and neighbors taking sides in the abolitionist debate.
Dorothea, a young lady in the midst of the arguments and her tormented family life, learns wisdom beyond her years over a quilt she makes. She finds herself in the midst of the Underground Railroad and learns lessons of friendship and honor along the way.
This book is riveting from beginning to end, and provides a view of the times that is valuable in understanding it.The author, again, creates characters that are quite real - loveable, yet flawed. Her descriptions of the way of life in the mid-1800's are realistic and give you a sense of the work required to live in the times.
