Travel to Harveyville, Kansas, a wheat farming region in the grips of the Great 
Depression, where drought is drying up the crops and jobs are almost impossible to 
find. Meet Grover and Queenie Bean, a young farming couple, who despite their 
plight learn to count their blessings when the Massies, a Missouri hillbilly 
couple, and their two young children breakdown on the road beside their farm.


Watch as the Persian Pickle Club, a "stitch-and-itch" group of women, meet weekly 
and share burdens, friendship, and the local gossip. Learn the value of true 
friendship and the support that women gain from the art of quilting, as the group 
confronts problems and life "head-on."

Thrill to a variety of twists and turns in the plot, as the rural people must dig 
deep within themselves to survive the 1930's. And, watch for a very unique 
surprise, as the story ends.

The kind of book that will warm your heart and cause your soul to rejoice.
