About this ebook
In her magical, memorable novel, Sandra Dallas explores the ties of loyalty and friendship that unite the women in a quilting circle in Depression-era Kansas
It is the 1930s, and hard times have hit Harveyville, Kansas, where the crops are burning up, and there's not a job to be found. For Queenie Bean, a young farm wife, a highlight of each week is the gathering of the Persian Pickle Club, a group of local ladies dedicated to improving their minds, exchanging gossip, and putting their quilting skills to good use. When a new member of the club stirs up a dark secret, the women must band together to support and protect one another.

Talkative young farm wife Queenie Bean looks forward to weekly quilting with the Persian Pickle Club members to ease hard times in Harveyville, Kansas, where crops are burning up and jobs are nonexistent during the 1930s Depression. When Rita, a new and eager newspaper reporter from the big city, joins the club, her ambition to solve a local murder tests the strength of the club members’ friendship and the limits of their tolerance. The Persian Pickle Club is an endearing look at small-town characters determined to conceal a secret.

Makes me wish I grew up in a small town instead of Los Angeles...but only while I read it.:-) Great 'girls' novel. Charming!
