About
We are thrilled to host the launch event for local columnist Eli McCann's new novel, Stitched.
This is a ticketed event. Ticket includes a copy of Stitched, or a basic entry fee without the book copy. Extra copies of the book will be available to purchase at the event. If you cannot make this event, signed copies may be ordered from our website.
If you cannot attend, you must pick up your book (if included with ticket) at The King's English Bookshop within 30 days of the event. We can ship that book to you for an additional charge of $7; please call the store to arrange that.
About the book:
"Eli McCann writes with humor and tenderness about an unlikely collection of people who don’t expect to need one another—and then do. This book will make you laugh and leave you quietly grateful for what remains after the thing that once held a group together no longer matters." — ANN GARVIN, I Thought You Said This Would Work
Betty Lou Dearden has been a member of the Ogden Quilter’s Association for more than twenty years when it’s announced that the biggest quilting competition in the country is coming to her small Utah town. With the clock ticking, the women welcome two young gay men to their group as they bicker their way to an award-worthy entry and attempt to beat their long-time rivals once and for all. With disarming humor and extraordinary heart, Eli McCann takes readers deep into the cozy but cutthroat world of competitive quilting and the sometimes-messy friendships that shape our lives.
