The Ivy Creek Sewing Circle: Stories From The Heart Of Appalachia

When a crisis strikes the Johnson family in the summer of 1971, it is the women of The Ivy Creek Sewing Circle who jump into action to help the family get back on their feet. Witness to the actions of the sewing circle is nine-year-old, Emmybeth Johnson, who loves nothing better than to listen to what the grownups around her are saying, oftentimes when they are not aware that she is listening. Emmybeth treats the reader to her naïve perspective, which is sometimes closer to the truth than she realizes. She finds out, through her observation of the women of The Ivy Creek Sewing Circle, that "Girl Power" is not just a popular catchphrase of the day, it's the way mountain women circle the wagons when their friends or family are in trouble. Emmybeth loves her life in Ivy Creek and her family with her whole heart. She does not think her family's circumstances will ever change. So, when they do, the fallout confuses her. However, with the help of The Ivy Creek Sewing Circle she and her family survive the changes and endure. Sit back and enjoy the antics of Emmybeth and cheer on The Ivy Creek Sewing Circle as they overcome the bad times and celebrate the good. You will enjoy your time in this small town, nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, and most importantly, you will remember The Ivy Creek Sewing Circle long after you've turned the last page!
