"Stitching the Past" follows a young Ellie Monroe who, after being abandoned by her mother at eight years old, grows up in the small town of Helen, Georgia. Practically raised by her grandmother, she learns the art of sewing and begins designing clothes, dreaming of a future in New York City. But by the time she was sixteen, a chance encounter with her estranged mother forces her to confront the past she's been running from. After falling out with her childhood best friend, Tyler Lawson, and the pain of leaving everything she knows behind just like her mother did, she sets out to chase her dreams at eighteen years old. Years later, she returns to Helen, hoping to be reunited with the ones she left behind. In the end, she must decide whether her dreams are worth the cost of leaving the people she loves--and whether coming home might be the most important part of her journey.

****THIS IS A SEQUEL. To be able to follow this story, please read "Unravelling" first**** Lily has started into the new year with a mixture of confusion, curiosity, anticipation - and dread. Ever since her oldest brothers revealed some of the truth about their family's past, the 12-year-old soon-to-be-teenager is struggling to come to terms with all the new and partially heart-breaking information. For the first few months of the year, Lily has tried to stay true to her word and not dig any further into their past, at least not until Alex, her guardian, is willing to share more details with the younger kids. However, Lily's patience is slowly running out. So many things are occupying her mind. She is convinced that there is still a lot more to discover about her family, and she is not willing to wait much longer. What is their father's story and can she locate him? How did her sister die? When will she see Finn again? Why is Sean really moving back home? And what is the reason behind her brothers' weirdly secretive behavior? With the help from her friends and some of her siblings, Lily continues her journey of gradually unravelling her family's secrets. Will she be successful? Will the implications of her discoveries slowly dissolve her family or is she able to save these fragile relationships before it is too late? Join Lily once again as she juggles school, friends, family (meetings), the general challenges of growing-up, creepy stalkers, some tragedies and maybe even her first encounter with something akin to a crush in these rather eventful months of her life.
