Summary: A real page-turner!
Review: This was a lovely book mainly about three sisters living in Salem. With a sister of my own, I could really relate to the story. As the sisters grow older and start leading their own lives and head their seperate ways, Hannah, the oldest sister starts making a quilt. The rules are simple. Anyone who has touched the lives of the sisters, and are trusted by the sisters can be in the quilt. As each sister leaves home, Hannah gives away a part of the quilt for her to work on. A book which is sometimes sad, sometimes funny, and very realistic, the reader will go through many kinds of emotions. Great book!

Summary: WONDERFULLY CAPTIVATING!
Review: This was the first book I read by Ann Rinaldi, but certainly not the last! This enthralling book had me flipping the pages as fast as I could and I couldn't even put it down. I ended up staying up really late so that I could finish it! It breathes words and emotions into history, weaving personality into text-book knowleadge. A concentrated thematical overview: Hannah, the main character, feels as if her life has been torn apart. As she tries to piece it together, she decides to start a quilt in which anyone with whom a trust was formed between them and the Chelmsford family will contribute a square of fabric to represent that person. The metaphorical meaning behind the quilt is most fascinating and cleary intriguing from the first page! Any fan of American history will thouroughly enjoy this novel of true love, family, and, of course, trust to the highest extent possible!

Summary: Rinaldi at her very best!
Review: When I read the back of this book, I thought the publishers made it sound boring. But I bought it anyway, since I love Ann Rinaldi's books. Well, this book was totally amazing! The characters were vivid and memorable, and the action kept on coming! I finished it quickly, not being able to put it down. This book is definately way up there at the top of my list, with FINISHING BECCA and THE LAST SILK DRESS. If you like drama and historical fiction, you'll love this book. I did!

Summary: I loved it!
Review: Wow! Ann Rinaldi really knows how to keep your attention! I just fell in love with the characters and I could not put the book down! I think I finished it in about 2 days. I think everyone should read it, it was just so enjoyable. I love the wonderful details given and how Hannah pours her heart out to the readers. You feel her every emotion and each of her thoughts are expressed though Rinaldi's writing. I thought they story line was so interesting, that I've just got to buy the other two in the Quilt Trilogy!
