A powerful debut by a gifted storyteller, The Quilter\'s Apprentice tells a timeless tale of family, friendship, and forgiveness as two women weave the disparate pieces of their lives into a bountiful and harmonious whole..
Just as the darker sections of a quilt can enhance the brighter ones, the mistakes of the past can strengthen understanding and lead the way to new beginnings.

During their lessons, the intricate, varied threads of Sylvia\'s life begin to emerge.
Sylvia is also a master quilter and, as part of Sarah\'s compensation, offers to share the secrets of her creative gifts with the younger woman.
Unable to find a job both practical and fulfilling, she takes a temporary position at Elm Creek Manor helping its reclusive owner Sylvia Compson prepare her family estate for sale and after the death of her estranged sister.
When Sarah McClure and her husband, Matt, move to Waterford, Pennsylvania, she hopes to make a fresh start in the small college town.
