Description

Sophie Deiner, daughter of an Amish bishop, returns to Nappanee, Indiana, after a recent illness, seeking refuge in a small town. She finds solace in a local quilt shop, where she befriends the owner, Jane Berger. As Sophie recovers, she becomes involved in advocating for migrant workers who are facing deportation. Jane shares with Sophie the story of her Amish ancestors, who rescued survivors of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, many of whom were Irish immigrants. This history sparks Sophie's desire to fight for the powerless. However, as she delves deeper into the issue, conditions become more complicated, and Sophie begins to question whether she has chosen a cause she can't win. A Patchwork Past is a story about finding purpose and standing up for those in need, set against the backdrop of a small American town and its complex relationships with tradition and social justice.
