Descriere

Jillian James has never had a place she could call home. So when she lands in Laurel Springs, Texas--broke, friendless, alone--she's definitely not expecting to stay. Desperate to make some quick cash before she moves on again, she agrees to help an elderly woman close her beloved quilt shop. Connor Larady's mother has owned the shop all her life, but lately she has struggled with Alzheimer's. He faces the overwhelming task of closing her shop and cataloging her inventory--her life's work. When he meets Jillian, he seizes the opportunity for some help. As Jillian learns the stories behind each quilt, she grows close to Connor's mother, and a tender friendship between Jillian and Connor begins to blossom into something deeper. Connor's seventeen-year-old daughter, Sunnie, has spent her whole life in Laurel Springs, Texas, and she feels restless. To Sunnie, Jillian represents travel, adventure, excitement. Is it possible to build a meaningful life in your hometown, or do you need to leave to find yourself?Weaving together the story of three generations of women looking for a place to belong, Mornings on Main asks us to consider how we make our memories--what we remember, what we forget, what becomes part of our story--and reminds us that it's not where we live, but how we live that counts.
