This book was purchased long before I started quilting, but it was nice to know there was actually a quilt involved in the story.

Three generations of the Gaitlin family have had brief encounters with angels that have given them a purpose and a path in life. Barnaby, the black sheep of a well-to-do family, is still looking for his angel. Barnaby works for a company that hires out people to assist with odd jobs for their mainly elderly clientele. Along with Barnaby’s story we get to know many of his regular, and equally interesting, clients.
