Family Patterns by Kristin Eckhardt

 

Family Patterns by Kristin Eckhardt. Patchwork Mysteries series. Guideposts, 2010.

Set in Maple Hill, Massachusetts, this is the tale of Sarah Hart, a friendly retirement aged woman who restores vintage quilts. When her son and his family move into Sarah's grandparents' old house in town, her twin granddaughters find a formerly hidden passageway and a baby quilt belonging to Sarah's own father. The family mystery has long been that the woman who made this quilt, Molly Drayton, disappeared one night in 1920. Sarah begins to search for clues about what might really have happened to her grandmother. With the help of the local librarian, neighbors, the quilt store owner, and others, the plot thickens into a quite satisfying mystery. The Christian beliefs are successfully woven into the story and should not be offensive to anyone.
