A missing diamond. Three wrongly accused cleaners. One very determined eighty-five-year-old witness. When a valuable diamond turns up in a vacuum cleaner, the women of Partners in Grime suddenly find themselves at the center of Piney Hollow's latest scandal. Maisie Schreffler is convinced her friends are innocent, but proving it may be harder than threading a needle in the dark. Then an insurance adjuster is found dead behind Par ExSalonce. As rumors spread faster than coffee at the Hugga Mug Café, Maisie begins untangling a trail of secrets, half-truths, and suspicious timelines. Helping her is Aunt Clara-who may be eighty- five, but isn't about to let age, common sense, or an overprotective family stop her from getting involved. With a giant cat named Chairman Meow underfoot, a town full of opinions, and more than one reputation hanging in the balance, Maisie soon discovers that what started as a missing diamond...

At The Full Bobbin, our fabric is color-coded, our stitch circles come with snacks, and our gossip is mostly harmless. That is, until my 85-year-old great-aunt Clara got mugged at a yard sale—for a quilt. Not cash. Not heirlooms. A faded, hand-stitched quilt she’d practically wrestled out of a bin like it was Black Friday at JoAnn’s. And just when I start to think maybe it was all a misunderstanding and we can go back to reorganizing the batiks, the local quilt show judge turns up dead – strangled with a piece of fabric. Now I’m juggling my shifts, a flood of gossip, and a surprisingly sharp-tongued policeman who thinks my to-do list is adorable. (It is not.) I’m Maisie Schreffler—inventory manager, reluctant people-pleaser, and now apparently, amateur detective. Because someone’s patching lies into this town faster than I can say "chain stitch," and if I don’t figure out what’s...

Dear Emily, Remember how I used to say that when I died, I wanted to be remembered as a godly woman? I almost gave up this winter… Writing letters home to her sister Emily is Hannah Zartman’s lifeline.

Dear Hannah, You will never believe my news. After almost despairing of finding the right man (perhaps I was too particular as some said), I am getting married. No, I can’t say I was too particular because otherwise I would already be married to William- which is its own tale- and never have met Jacob… Emily DeGroot thrives on secret letters to and from her runaway sister Hannah who left her affluent home in New York, married a hessian mercenary and lives in the wilds of Pennsylvania in 1798. Emily’s Story, the sequel to Letters to Emily, chronicles the same year from Emily’s perspective. Emily faces an entirely different set of challenges: yellow fever, a long harsh winter, and the perfect suitor who she does not love. Will Emily’s circumstances grow her from a spoiled wealthy young girl to a woman of… or will the tests life throws at her

Miriam Ilgenfritz has spent the last 25 years collecting tales of childhood and family life. She has changed approximately 99,805 diapers. For the last seven years, she has cooked for a minimum of ten people three times a day, which makes 76,650 meals ( not to mention the dishes), and she is afraid to estimate how many loads of laundry she may have done. Along the way she has learned that the wash will never be done, that teenage children eat enormous amounts of food, that she should have bought stock in Pampers, and that no one ever went to college who wasn't potty trained. The Ties That Bind is a light-hearted collection of stories gathered in her spare time that reflect her belief that motherhood is not just a job, it's an adventure.
