Mother to eight children, Rosa mourns the loss of four who succumbed to the mysterious wasting disease that is now afflicting young Ana and Miguel. Two daughters born of another father are in perfect health. When an act of violence shatters Rosa's resolve to maintain her increasingly dangerous existence, she flees with the children and her precious heirloom quilts to the mesa where she last saw her beloved mother alive. As a flash flood traps them in a treacherous canyon, only one man is brave-or foolhardy-enough to come to their rescue: Lars Jorgenson, Rosa's first love and the father of her healthy daughters. Together they escape to Berkeley, where a leading specialist offers their only hope of saving Ana and Miguel. Here in northern California, they create new identities to protect themselves from Rosa's vengeful husband, the police who seek her for questioning, and the gangsters Lars reported to Prohibition agents-officers representing a department often as corrupt as the Mob itself. Ever mindful that his youthful alcoholism provoked Rosa to spurn him, Lars nevertheless supports Rosa's daring plan to stake their futures on a struggling Sonoma Valley vineyard--despite the recent hardships of local winemakers whose honest labors at viticulture have, through no fault of their own, become illegal. 500 $a Includes excerpt from author's: Mrs. Lincoln's dressmaker. 650 0 $a Hispanic American women $z California $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Abused wives $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Distilling, Illicit $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Prohibition $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Wineries $z California $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Quiltmakers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Quilting $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Hispanic American women $z California $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Abused women $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Prohibition $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Wine and wine making $z California $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Quilting $v Fiction. $2 sears 655 0 $a Domestic fiction, American. 655 0 $a Historical fiction, American. 655 0 $a Love stories, American. 655 7 $a Love stories. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 800 1 $a Chiaverini, Jennifer. $t Elm Creek quilts novel. 941 $a 4 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417013152.0 952 $l YFPC572 $d 20181222012913.0 952 $l MMPE553 $d 20180719041836.0 952 $l SHPC094 $d 20170819010605.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=470AD7A68ADA11E2984AF18DDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
