The Goodbye Quilt by Susan WiggsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Linda & Dan Davis's only child, and daughter at that, Molly, is ready to head off to college - clean on the East Coast. Linda has been been piecing together a lovely quilt of Molly's life - articles of clothing, badges, ribbon, and whatnot. When Linda decides to drive Molly to college, from their MidWestern home across all those miles, she decides to take the quilt with them and hopes to finish it along the way. Many memories and emotions are tied into the quilt and the trip becomes quite a journey. As the odometer climbs, so does Linda's emotions and she tries to find a way to let go and let Molly find her own way.
Thrown in between chapters are wonderful little tidbits - quotes by quilters, poets, and writers. This book is so well written and Susan Wiggs explains every up and down emotion Moms go through while letting their children grow up and leave.
