Bookroo's summary
In a new home, a young girl discovers an old patchwork quilt in the attic. Once cherished by Abigail generations ago, the quilt becomes a source of warmth and security. As she wraps herself in its history, will it help her find her place in this unfamiliar world? Uncover the stories woven into its fabric and the unexpected connections it creates.
"Abigail loved the quilt. She wrapped it round her in the quiet dark and watched the winter skies. Sometimes she saw a falling star."
