Summary: VeRy GoOd!
Review: A Stitch in Time is about a 15-year-old girl named Hannah. She brings up her little brother and sisters ever since her mother died in the war. She tries to keep her household peaceful. She considers her father evil and greedy, and doesn't want anything bad to happen. The only person Nathanial Chelmsford ever loves is his youngest daughter, Thankful. Hannah believes that everybody she loves goes away from her. She goes from helping her sister, Abby, elope, to convincing her father to take Thankful to Ohio with him. The only way Hannah can really keep her friends and family close to her is by piecing a quilt with a little piece of fabric from everbody she trusts in it. This is a great book! I think this is the best one in the quilt trilogy.

Summary: It's an Enjoyable Read!
Review: Ann Rinaldi is one of my favorite authors. This book was no disappointment to me. I loved the way she twisted the plot and what happens to the characters. I myself could not put the book down once I started to read it and I think you won't be able to put it down either.Hannah Chelmsford has been the one to watch out for her brothers and sisters since her mother's death. Hannah's father, Nathaniel Chelmsford, has barely anything to do with his children and has Hannah take care of them. Hannah and her sisters, Abigail and Thankful, are making a quilt. When they started the quilt, there were only going to be pieces for family, then they decide to add people that have meant something in their lives and there has to be trust between these people. Hannah soon helps her sister, Abigail, plan her elopement. Abigail has to elope because her father won't let her get married. They put the plan into action one night hoping everything goes well. Lawrence, Hannah's brother, is going on a trip west with his father and Thankful, to paint pictures of the Indians. Lawrence is made second in command because of his militia experience. Thankful gets to go along because she made a bargain with Hannah, to where Hannah would get their father to let her go along and Thankful would keep her mouth shut about Abigail's elopement. What will happen to Thankful, Lawrence, and their father in the west? Richard Lander, the captain of the Prince, is a long time friend of Hannah's. Richard has become the talk of the town since rumors have gone around about his ship. Plus no one but the investors, Richard, and his crew know the destination of the ship and that has made many people mad. Richard asks Hannah to wait for him, but Hannah thinks that there's no trust between them. In the weeks before he is to leave Richard tries to prove to Hannah that he cares for her. Will Hannah decide to wait for Richard while he's gone? Louis, a man Hannah was once engaged to, shows up at the door asking Hannah if she will watch his baby. Night Song, the baby, is half Indian and Kentuckians killed her mother during a raid on a Shawnee village. Will Hannah decide to keep the baby for Louis? Hannah's father puts money into making the first cotton yarn factory in America. The factory ends up in trouble when the ladies of the surrounding community threaten to shut it down. Hannah is asked to help but will she? Will Hannah keep the family from falling apart? I loved this book! The plot is great! I love how trust is the main idea behind this book, because I believe you have to have trust between people just like Hannah did. I enjoyed this book very much and I believe you will too!

Summary: It was okay
Review: Hannah Chelmsford had always been the strong one. The one who kept the family together when her father was away. The one who cared for her brothers and sisters after her mother died. But now everything is changing. Her father has become more distant, her brothers and sisters are all planning lives of their own. That's when Hannah comes up with the idea for the quilt. A quilt created of fabric from people who have become special to the family; people they trust. And when the sisters are seperated Hannah makes sure they each have part of the quilt. The quilt she hopes will help her family together again.

Summary: This book was TERRIFIC!!!!!
Review: I absolutely loved this book! It had a terrific plot and great characters. Most stories are always mushy and happy, but this wasn't, and I liked that. That can get annoying with all that romance and stuff. This was romantic, but not mushy. A definite read for those of you out there who are sick of fairy tale books.

Summary: The Best
Review: I have all three of the books in this trilogy and they are all very good, but this one is by far the best. It is about a family and the complicaions of living with an extremely overbearing father. It has just enough romance to make it really good. I definately recomend it to anyone who likes historical fiction.

Summary: This is the first A. Rinaldi book I've read -now I'm hooked!
Review: I heard from my friend , who was reading the 3rd book in the Quilt Trilogy, that this was a great story. I agree -- this is a story that is impossible to put down. I'll be sad when this book is over but I can't wait to read the other two.

Summary: !
Review: I really enjoyed reading the book, A Stitch in Time. I would mostly recommend it to somone who enjoys historical fiction, like me, but the themes of trust, family, and romance can be enjoyed by all. Teenagers ages 12-16 would especially like it because they could see what life for someone their age would be like in the late 1700's. The plot has many twists and turns and has a surprise ending. This book has two sequals that are also worth reading!
