    "description": "<p>After learning of her family&rsquo;s ties to the slaveholding South, Sylvia Compson scours her attic for clues and discovers a window into the world of her ancestors: the memoir of her great-grandfather&rsquo;s spinster sister, Gerda Bergstrom. Gerda&rsquo;s memoir chronicles the founding of Elm Creek Manor and the tumultuous years when Hans, Anneke and Gerda Bergstrom sheltered fugitive slaves within its walls, using quilts as a signal of sanctuary. But little did the staunchly abolitionist Gerda know that a traitor was amongst them, placing the Bergstroms in grave danger and leading to family discord, betrayal and a secret held for generations. With the help of the Elm Creek Quilters and clues hidden within antique quilts discovered in the manor&rsquo;s attic, Sylvia stitches together the pieces of her past and decodes the true nature of the Bergstrom legacy.</p>",
