A Thread of Truth by Marie Bostwick

This is a follow-up book to A Single Thread that I read last year. The same characters are still there and some new ones have been added. In the last book the quilting women rallied around Evelyn and her battle with a new business plus breast cancer. In this book the new woman is Ivy. She has escaped an abusive husband and is trying to hide herself and her two children. Ivy is sure that she won't be able to stay in New Bern for long and tries to keep herself as isolated as possible. Of course that isn't possible with the quilting women! This book is very predictable - but I knew that before I started reading! It was a life-affirming gentle read about the value of friendships.
