From the inside cover:
Alice Bullock is a young newlywed whose husband, Charlie, has just joined the Union Army, leaving her on his Iowa farm with only his formidable mother for company. Equally talented at sewing and gossip and not overly fond of hard work, Alice writes lively letters to her sister filled with accounts of local quilting bees, the rigors of farm life, and the customs of small-town America. But no town is too small for intrigue and treachery, and when Alice finds herself accused of murder, she discovers her own hidden strengths and finds support from unlikely sources.

Normally I do not care for books written in letter format, but I found this one to be very well done. The story was interesting, but for some they might find it a bit predictable. I enjoyed it none the less.
