Jennifer Chiaverini's bestselling Elm Creek Quilts series continues as Master Quilter Sylvia Bergstrom Compson's exploration of her ancestry reveals unexpected connections between herself and long-lost visitor to Elm Creek Manor.

Master Quilter Sylvia Bergstrom Compson treasures a remarkable heirloom known as Birds in the Air, the Runaway Quilt, and the Elm Creek Quilt -- each name honoring the woman who created it. That quilter was Joanna, a fugitive slave who traveled by the Underground Railroad to reach safe haven in 1859 at Elm Creek Farm.

Though Joanna was captured and forcibly returned to a plantation in Virginia, she left the Bergstrom family a most precious gift: her son. The Bergstrom family raised the boy as their own, and the secret of his identity died with their generation. Now it falls to Sylvia -- drawing upon an old family diary and Joanna's quilt -- to connect Joanna's past to present-day Elm Creek Manor.

Deftly weaving together Joanna's harrowing story and acts of bravery with Sylvia's present-day determination to uncover the truth, The Lost Quilter is a moving testament to resilience, love, and the power of art to carry freedom's promise across time.
