About this book
"INTENSELY THOUGHTFUL...In Grasse, a small town outside Bakersfield, the women meet weekly for a quilting circle, piecing together scraps of their husbands' old workshirts, children's ragged blankets, and kitchen curtains...Like the richly colored, well-placed shreds that make up the substance of an American quilt, details serve to expand and illuminate these characters...The book spans half a century and addresses not only [these women's] histories but also their children's, their lovers', their country's, and in the process, their gender's."
