The memory quilt [a Christmas story for our times]

"As she recovers from the death of her husband, Lela Edwards is looking forward to spending the holidays with her family, especially her granddaughter, Darcie. However, Darcie is planning on skipping Lela's holiday festivities, fearing that her grandmother will be disapproving of her recent divorce. As a result, Lela struggles to cope in the days preceding Christmas and looks toward Bible studies for strength."@en
"Life doesn't always unfold in a perfect way, even for God-loving, churchgoing people like Lela. It is the cold season in Chicago, and as the days of the season progress, Lela participates in a Bible study group that focuses on the Virgin Mary, and receives messages and guidance."@en
"T.D. Jakes's first Christmas story features a grandmother seeking inspiration from the Bible as she prepares to create a quilt. Grandmother feels as if her life and loves have all passed, leaving her alone to reminisce about the joy of yesteryear and the real Christmases she celebrated. But as she opens her heart to the stories of the Virgin Mary, the truth of what really matters to her comes to light. At the end, she folds up the quilts she has made and ventures off to share their joy and warmth with the children in a local shelter, leaving them with something to keep them physically and spiritually cloaked."@en
