This is the first book in the acclaimed War Eagle River Series.
Gran had lived a lot of years and raised sons and grandsons, and then along came Amy Catherine. Gran’s joy knew no bounds. The little girl had come along after five boys and her mother was glad for Gran’s help. Gran made quilts for her grandchildren, but this girl’s quilt would be special, containing embroidered pictures of her young life–pictures that Amy had drawn.

It has joys and agonizing tears, but that is just part of life.
