The Goodbye Quilt/Susan Wiggs/p 224

Linda Davis is driving cross country with her daughter, Molly, to help her move into her dorm. On the way, she works on a special quilt of Molly's life. She's also working on biting her tongue when Molly can't seem to break the tie with her hometown boyfriend. What is a mom to do when her only child is growing up? How do you let go of a child and embrace a new season of life?

Any mom will recognize all the ambivalent feelings Linda has as she struggles with letting go. Wiggs does an excellent job of communicating the heart of a mother. Great read for someone wanting women's fiction.
