Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
This vibrant novel from Rich (The Comeback Kiss) shows that chick lit can deal intelligently with fate, family issues and romantic relationships. Carly McKay, a 29-year-old TV producer in Tucson, Ariz., comes from a loving Catholic family—a great dad and two sisters—all of whom have been scarred by the wife and mom who abandoned them 17 years earlier. On assignment from Tucson Today, Carly travels to Bilby, a small town revitalized by a thriving artist community, to interview Brandywine Seaver, a hip psychic quilt maker. Brandy gives skeptical Carly a quilt and a reading, telling her that her mother's not dead and that "[e]verything's about to change." When her mother's shocking return confirms Brandy's reading and she also loses her job, an angry Carly returns to Bilby to give back the "Quilt of Evil." She ends up staying in order to reimagine her life, and in the process discovers new love and the courage to take charge of her destiny. (Mar.)

From Booklist
When television producer Carly McKay interviews psychic quiltmaker Brandywine Seaver, little does she know that her life is about to take a dramatic turn. She is skeptical of Brandywine's reading until her predictions start coming true in rapid succession. First, Carly loses her job. Then, her mother returns 17 years after she abandoned the family. Her best friend confesses his love for her. The coincidences are all but overwhelming, and soon Carly is looking for answers from Brandywine and seeking refuge in the psychic's tight-knit artists' community. Carly forms a new circle of friends and even begins a promising relationship with photographer Will, but she is wary of confronting the troubles that originally drove her away. This novel is more sentimental than some of Rich's earlier novels, like Time Off for Good Behavior (2004) and Ex and the Single Girl (2005), but it offers the same quick humor. Even skeptics like Carly will find themselves hoping for a happy ending, and Rich certainly delivers. Aleksandra Kostovski
