The Runaway Quilt: An Elm Creek Quilts Novel (The Elm Creek Quilts)

After learning of her familyâ€™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-grandfatherâ€™s spinster sister,

Gerda Bergstrom. Gerdaâ€™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 among 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 manorâ€™s attic, Sylvia stitches together the pieces of her past and decodes the true nature of the Bergstrom legacy.
