Sophie is
growing old and it's time to tell her secret. She chooses to confide in Annie,
a niece who may have chosen the wrong man to love.
In 1918
Sophie went to CannonBeach, on the OregonCoast,
to keep house for two bachelor brothers. Fascinated with the view from the
cabin, she decides to "paint" it with fabric, to create a quilt that
pictures what she sees through her kitchen window. A neighbor, an artist,
becomes first her friend, then her lover. But David is not free. He has a wife
whom he loves, a wife who recently lost the child they had long hoped for. Can
there be a way he can be with Sophie without betraying his wife?
Old memories,
old pain, and a secret kept for most of a lifetime come to light as Sophie
tells Annie her story. And when it is done, there is one more surprise.
