What’s this?
The Dust Bowl has devastated farms across the midwest. World war looms on the horizon. Banks are failing. The Great Depression has come to Jubilee Junction. Marie packs up what’s left of the farm auction as she and Frank prepare to leave with their two daughters. He and his father plan to go west for work. Then Aunt Mabel calls with an invitation to come stay in Jubilee Junction.
Uncle Edward arranges for the men to work as supervisors in a CCC camp. In the present day, Gracie and her team of history sleuths have a new quilt mystery to piece together, one that will join two families together. And in the midst of it all, Christmas in Jubilee Junction is celebrated with new family, new babies, old traditions, and a fresh and unexpected opportunity to practice forgiveness, reconciliation, and peace on Earth.
