She had thought he was the one...
Now she's not sure of anything.
When it comes to quilting, Maggie Newcomb is all thumbs. And nobody rubs it in more than Emma Jean Stoddard. But Maggie swallows her ire for one simple reason: she has a crush on Emma Jean's handsome son, Colby, and doesn't want to ruin her chances. So she works hard to become the best quilter in Maintown.
Her plan seems to be working--until Tamara Brennan comes to town. Tamara is wealthy, poised, and beautiful. Several of the local boys are immediately smitten with her, including Colby Stoddard. Desperate to keep Colby's attention, Maggie devises an elaborate plan with her friend Evan. But her scheme brings unexpected consequences, and before long Maggie isn't sure what her heart truly desires.
Reviews
"It's 1882, and Maggie Newcomb, just turned eighteen, is determined to win handsome Colby Stoddard for her husband--if, that is, she can keep him from being snared by beautiful Tamara Brennan, who's visiting Maggie's small Oregon town following a broken engagement. When Evan Parker, newly graduated from Harvard Law School, returns to his family in Maintown, Maggie sees the perfect opportunity. Not only can the awkward young lawyer defend Maggie's friend Tommy against murder charges, he can join forces with Maggie to keep Colby and Tamara apart.
The second book in Pella's Patchwork Circle series, which revolves around the members of a quilting circle and their daughters, Sister's Choice is a charming and often gently humorous novel, with engaging characters, especially its heroine, who's refreshingly blundering and down-to-earth. It also features that rarity in romantic novels--a bespectacled hero. I look forward to spending more time with these characters." --Susan Higginbotham, Historical Novels Review Aug. 2008
