About this book
\"INTENSELY THOUGHTFUL...In Grasse, a small town outside Bakersfield, the women meet weekly for a quilting circle, piecing together scraps of their husbands\' old workshirts, children\'s ragged blankets, and kitchen curtains...Like the richly colored, well-placed shreds that make up the substance of an American quilt, details serve to expand and illuminate these characters...The book spans half a century and addresses not only [these women\'s] histories but also their children\'s, their lovers\', their country\'s, and in the process, their gender\'s.\"
