"What would they think if I told them Miss Evangeline's own uncle done this to me?" Joanna said bitterly one night in Tavia's cabin, after the young mistress had humiliated her before a crowd of friends and admirers. "My scar might not be so funny if they knew the truth."
p.125 from The Lost Quilter by Jennifer Chiaverini
____________________________________________________________________
I am going between the 1860's and current day. In the current day I'm looking at some old letters found inside a desk that might give me clues as to who the maker of a mystery quilt might be. This clue could also hold the key as to my real ancestors....is Joanna, a runaway slave, my great-grandmother? When I go back in time, I'm Joanna running from the slave catchers trying to get back to my newborn son that I had to leave behind in the care of a family who hid me for months.
~ The Lost Quilter: An Elm Creek Quilts Novel by Jennifer Chiaverini
