A family, like a quilt, can be pieced together in many ways. And a quilt, like a family, is rich with stories. Lacey's great-grandmother has a trunkful of family quilts, and stories, she loves to share with Lacey. And the stories the old quilts tell help Lacey understand not only the generations that have come before her, but her own family as well. Take Lacey's great-great-aunt Ida Lou, living with her brother, Vic, and their struggling single mother in Bloomington, Illinois, in 1918. Vic wants to join the fighting overseas, while Ida Lou dreams of becoming an aerialist like her heroes, The Flying Wards. She's sure that traveling with the circus will enable her to find her long-absent father. But even as a rich suitor for Ida Lou's mother promises a bright future for the family, a near-tragic accident threatens to put an end to Ida Lou's dreams.

Ida Lou Young lives in Bloomington, Illinois, in 1918 with her brother Vic and their mother. Their father deserted the family years ago. As war rages overseas, Ida's mother must struggle to make ends meet and provide for her children. Ida dreams of joining the circus as an aerialist, but her mother and brother discourage her. She also dreams that one day her father will return, even though that dream is even more unrealistic than her others. When her mother announces that she plans to marry a wealth man, Mr. Trainer, Ida is devastated, because deep down inside it confirms her worst fear - that her father is gone for good. When Ida is injured in a terrible accident, she fears she may never walk again. But as Ida will discover, there is always hope - for herself, the new family created by her mother's remarriage, and even for the war-torn world. This final book in the American Quilts series, the story of four generations of one American family, is another heartwarming portrait of life long ago.
