Two years after mourning the death of her husband, Marianna Spencer ventures alone to Wolf Creek, Wisconsin, in search of the perfect fabric for her latest original quilt design. Once there, she spots a For Sale sign in the front window of the quilt shop and makes a brash decision to buy the business.
Back in Green Bay, Wisconsin with her new found excitement rising, the last person she expects to see on her doorstep is Rachel, her teen step-daughter, with a baby. Marianna has never met the teenager and although reluctant, even resentful, she can’t turn them away.
Living above the quilt shop on Wolf Creek Square, Marianna offers the young teen mother guidance and deals with her occasional rebellion as the three of them become part of the tight-knit community. Marianna must also decide what to do about the surprising attentions of Art Carlson, the attractive jewelry designer next door.
