THE GIVING QUILT
CHIAVERINI, JENNIFER
At Elm Creek Manor, the week after Thanksgiving is “Quiltsgiving,” a time to commence a season of generosity.
From near and far, quilters and aspiring quilters—a librarian, a teacher, a college student, and a quilt-shop clerk
among them—gather for a special winter session of quilt camp, to make quilts for Project Linus. (In real life,
Chiaverini has long been active in this charitable organization, dedicated to providing handmade quilts and
blankets to children in need.) Each quilter, ever mindful that many of her neighbors, friends, and family members
are struggling through difficult times, uses her creative gifts to alleviate their collective burden. As the week
unfolds, the quilters respond to Sylvia’s provocative question in ways as varied as the life experiences that drew
them to Elm Creek Manor.

GOLDBERG VARIATIONS
ISAACS, SUSAN
Gloria Garrison nee Goldberg isn’t getting any younger. At seventy-nine, it’s time for her to plan for the future of
Glory, Inc., the Santa Fe-based beauty makeover business that Gloria has grown from zilch into an elevenmillion-a-year
bonanza. But now Gloria has alienated her former business partner and chosen successor. Who
will take over Glory? Gloria’s never been big on family and wrote them all out of her will, but suddenly she must
contemplate her three grandkids as possible candidates. There’s twenty-nine-year-old Daisy, a New York story
editor for a movie studio. Her brother, twenty-seven-year-old Matt, does sports PR. He can charm his way
around ball players, the press, and a flurry of women. And there’s gutsy Raquel, who at age twenty-five is
laboring away as a Legal Aid lawyer. She’s Catholic and a Goldberg and proud of it. When Gloria sends
business-class tickets to tempt the three grandkids for a visit, they couldn’t be more surprised. Stranger still is
the revelation that one of them and only one, may be offered the chance to inherit Glory.
