Memories and fiction fill this collection of short stories with humor, heartwarming compassion, and spine-tingling fright from the author's own experiences and imagination that she can barely control. Quilts, children, and dogs have always played a large part in the author's life. Therefore it is not surprising to find stories of warm quilts wrapped around her tales and tails. A trait the reader finds in Barbara's writing is that much like life, nothing within the covers of this book will be what you expect.
