MOTHER AND DAUGHTER, grandmother and granddaughter, aunt and niece, friend and friend. For a hundred years, generations of women from Geeâs Bend have quilted together, sharing stories, trading recipes, singing hymnsâall the while stitchinâ and pullinâ thread through cloth. Every day Baby Girl listens, watches, and waits, until sheâs called to sit at the quilting frame. Piece by piece, she puzzles her quilt togetherâtelling not just her story, but the story of her family, the story of Geeâs Bend, and the story of her ancestorsâ struggle for freedom.
