I enjoyed this book but not as much as Christa's other novels. I felt that the character Nina was extremely overly paranoid when it came to her interactions with her friends and co-workers. And while I know from personal experience that the teases and taunts you receive in school stay with you, it seemed that the interaction with Greg was *one* incident. Had he been her consistent tormentor it would have made the animosity seem more plausible but from what the story said he only really went after her for a week at best and stopped when he got no response.

I also felt that there wasn't enough to her turn to caring about the stories behind the quilt instead of using it as a jumping off point for her career. Her relationship with her parents were hard to read as is any strained parental relationship for me and I felt that a lot could have been avoided had they just ben honest with her because in a sense it was their fault she was so ignorant about a lot of things yet they seemed like the wanted to blame her for it.

It was enjoyable but like I said not one of my favorites by this author. I also felt the ending was rushed and there was a lot that could have been fleshed out, while other parts of the story trimmed down.
