Lani Diane Rich's modern fairy tale centers on Carly, a 30-something television producer for Tucson Today who is used to being in control and who is not averse to bad puns. She has a good excuse for living at home--she's been acting as mom to her younger sister for the past 17 years after their real mom ran away from home. When a psychic quiltmaker "reads" Carly's quilt and predicts upheaval, Carly just laughs it off as another quirky person featured on her TV show. Multiple upheavals ensue, sending Carly to the small artists' community of Bilby, Arizona, and she finds herself rescued, at least temporarily, by the psychic quiltmaker. With colorful supporting characters, several love interests and a warm setting, this is just the book to curl up with by the fire to see how it will turn out happily ever after. -- Jenny H.
