A propos de cet article

"A rare and wonderful glimpse into lives and friendships among blue-collar working women in America."-Fannie Flagg, New York Times bestselling author of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe From the author of The Improper Life of Bezellia Grove, a deeply touching Southern novel filled with struggle and hope Emmalee Bullard is on her own with a new baby. She has no husband, no running water in her house, no know-how about caring for an infant, and no help from her cruel father, who's furious she got herself into this situation.

Emmalee decides that since nothing in Leona's closet is nice enough to wear for eternity, she'll make Leona's burying dress herself, though there are plenty of people who don't think someone who has so obviously sinned should design a dress for an upstanding woman-or care for a child on her own. While relatives scheme to get custody of her baby and the local church tries to keep her away from Leona's funeral, Emmalee struggles to do what is right for her daughter and to honor Leona the best way she can, finding unlikely support among an indomitable group of seamstresses and the town's funeral director. In this moving tale exploring Southern spirit, camaraderie among working women, and the power of compassion, a young mother compels a town to become a community with every stitch. …
