Your bookclub is going to love discussing this one!
Truly Plaice has carved out a tiny little life, despite her giant size. Ostracized since birth, nobody seems to want her - her mother died in childbirth, her father never forgave her, her sister's adoptive family rejects her, and the townspeople ridicule her at every opportunity. She finally finds a true home with the poor, outcast Dyerson clan on their broken-down out-of-the-way farm.
Secrets large and small weigh heavily in this book, and it's only upon their release that anyone finds peace ... but some at a much higher cost than others.
As a quilter, I loved the fact that a quilt plays a major part in the story without it being a "quilter's story." This book will hook you early and won't let you go, even after you've turned the final page.
