On a bone-chilling New Year's Day, when all the mountain roads are slick with
ice, Clay's mother, Anneth, insists on leaving her husband. She packs her
things, and with three-year-old Clay in tow, they inch their way toward her
hometown along the treacherous mountain roads.
That journey ends in the death of Clay's mother. It's a day that comes to
haunt her only son, who's left without a family and a history. This is the
story of how Clay Sizemore, a coal miner in love with his town but unsure of
his place within it, finds a family to call his own.
And it's the story of the people who become part of the life he shapes: Aunt
Easter, always filled with a sense of foreboding and bound to her faith above
all; Uncle Paul, quietly producing quilt after quilt; Dreama, beautiful and
flighty; Evangeline, the untameable daughter of a famous gospel singer; and
Alma, the fiddler whose song wends its way into Clay's heart. Together, they
all help Clay to fashion a quilt of a life from what treasured pieces are
around him.
Authentic and moving, Clay's Quilt is both the story of a young man's journey
and of Appalachian people struggling to hold on to their heritage.
