What to expect
Needing time to contemplate her troubled marriage, Tessa MacRae agrees to spend the summer helping her mother and grandmother clean out the family home in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. But the three women have never been close. Helen, the family matriarch, is domineering and sharp-tongued. Nancy, Tessa's mother, appears to be little more than a social climber. And Tessa herself is in turmoil following a family tragedy that has affected them all. Now, with the gift of time, Tessa's eyes are opened, and she begins to see her mother and grandmother for the flawed but courageous women they are. As she restores a vintage wedding-ring quilt pieced by her grandmother and quilted by her mother, the secrets that have shadowed their lives unfold at last. And each woman discovers that sometimes you have to clean house to find the things you thought were lost forever.
Critics Review
“A novel rich in its understanding of the Shenandoah Valley and complicated personal attachments.”
“Richards pieces together each woman’s story as artfully as a quilter creates a quilt, with equally satisfying results, and her characterizations are transcendent, endowed with warmth and compassion.”
“Richards tells profound truths with truly gifted writing.”
“Richards writes with rare honesty and compassion and has a keen eye for
detail. This is a beautiful, heartwarming story that will find its way
onto many shelves.”
“The Shenandoah Album trilogy is off to a great start with this novel,
filled with richly drawn characters and stories that will warm the
heart. Wedding Ring comes highly recommended.”
