The Edge of Summer by Viola Shipman
Love his book from the start. It starts out with a glimpse of the past then you go forward to present day. Sutton has not only lost her mother but is informed she's unemployed til the company gets back on its feet from the covid pan-demic.
She sublets her condo in the city and heads near to where her mother’s house was. She recently lost. The mitten state, Michigan and I learn so much more about it. the button factory in Douglas and the artist colony near the town.
Sutton loves buttons and they play a big part in her design work. She gets the full treatment from another local store owner and he takes her around the area to show her what they are all about.
There is not much dialogue, more of her thoughts and the things she sees. Very super descriptive I feel as if I am there.
She does meet colorful characters and they are precious.
Love how each new chapter starts with a sewing/design term and it's explanation.
She wants to find her father and other relatives and asks many in the town if they have any information.
Love drape myself when designing and using different yarns for sweaters.
Sutton just wants a new life after the pandemic but her landlord wants her to do design work for her social calen-dar...
Love travel, history of things, places, vintage ball game, adventures, events Sutton is shown, priceless to me, I could lose myself in this town as it has all my favorite pas-sions.
unexpected connection with a woman who has pictures and her birth certificate change her whole life as she's fig-ured out who her grandparents are.
Heartbreaking that they had not wanted her. She does hear the other side....
She knows what is important in her life. Love ending, nev-er saw that coming.
