Evangeline Glennon has seen many of life's highs and lows, but she still considers herself fortunate to be surrounded by people who love her: Papa, who hasn't lost his Irish brogue or his twinkle in his eye; Mama, who is always sensible and generous; and loyal best friend Ruby.

A dashing young pilot makes an incredibly delicate landing in Papa's Oklahoma wheat field out of a pure blue sky. After taking Eva up in his plane, Slim leaves her with an thrilling new perspective--and an even more priceless gift that will transform her life forever.

But that's just the beginningThe world is changing, too--and only the most resilient in body and spirit will be able to withstand what lies aheadNow, as she watches from afar the evolution of the brave young barnstormer she met so briefly, Eva stitches her heart and soul into exquisite quilts whose images take astonishing form from the agony and joy of parallel lives.
