Book Description
"A heartwarming story of relationships that, like pieces of a quilt, can be connected with discord or with harmony."-Sandra Dallas, author of The Persian Pickle Club
After moving with her husband, Matt, to the small college town of Waterford, Pennsylvania, Sarah McClure struggles to find a fulfilling job. In the meantime, she agrees to help seventy-five-year-old Sylvia Compson prepare her family estate, Elm Creek Manor, for sale. As part of her compensation, Sarah is taught how to quilt by this cantankerous elderly woman, who is a master of the craft.
During their lessons, Mrs. Compson reveals how her family was torn apart by tragedy, jealousy, and betrayal, and her stories force Sarah to face uncomfortable truths about her own alienation from her widowed mother. As their friendship deepens, Mrs. Compson confides in Sarah the truth about why she wants to sell Elm Creek Manor. In turn, Sarah seeks a way to bring life and joy back to the estate so Mrs. Compson can keep her home-and Sarah can keep her cherished friend. The Quilter's Apprentice teaches deep lessons about family, friendship, and sisterhood, and about creating a life as you would a quilt: with time, love, and patience, piecing the miscellaneous and mismatched scraps into a beautiful whole.

Nice story.......2007-06-08
What a nice quilting and life story. Although I do a LOT of quitling, I've never done any by hand. I've always appreciated hand quilting, but now I understand it better.
Lots of interesting aspects to so many of the characters. It made them all seem so real.
I plan to read the other quilting books as well.
The Family Tree And Friendship Quilt - An Exciting Debut Novel Of A Quilt Novel Series.......2007-03-13
This novel was the first quilting one I've ever read. What I liked about this book was that it was about trying to start your life anew in another town, looking for the right kind of work, making new friends, learning to quilt, and learning about someone's family history. In this book it was about a couple named Matt and Sarah McClure, who move to the town of Waterford, Pennsylvania. Matt, a landscaper, is assigned to do some yardwork in the gardens of an estate called Elm Creek Manor. Sarah, a former accountant, who is looking for a good job, tags along to visit the place too, and is intrigued by a quilt in one of the rooms. She and Matt meet Sylvia Compson, an elderly widow, and head of the estate. They don't hit it off at first, but they get to know each other better, and be friendly with each other. While Matt works in the gardens, Sylvia gives Sarah a job cleaning all the rooms in the estate. After a while, Sarah, who's had a lot of bad job interviews in between cleaning rooms, asks Sylvia to teach her to quilt, which Sylvia does, and she and Sarah divide their time between cleaning and quilting. Sylvia also tells Sarah about her family history of Elm Creek, and that she was thinking of selling the place. Sarah later decides to join a quilting guild called the Tangled Web Quilters, and makes new friends. She also has doubts that Sylvia really wants to sell Elm Creek, because its so full of memories, and thinks of ideas to make Sylvia reconsider. Near the end of the story, she learns that one of the members, Agnes, was Sylvia's estranged sister-in-law. During a quilt party at Elm Creek, Sylvia and Agnes recconcille. After that, Sylvia decides not to sell Elm Creek, and Sarah suggests they turn it into a quilting business. Sylvia agrees, and has Sarah and Matt move in and help her run it.
I was really inspired by this book. Being a quilter myself, I've learned about quilt patterns that I never knew about, and about how you can learn about history through quilting. To me, a quilt is "bits and pieces of history sewn together in one". I've also learned that you can make friends through quilting in classes and guilds. I wish I could write a book like this. Jennifer Chiaverini has great tastes in writing.
I even wish that Elm Creek Manor really existed. I'd visit there in a second.
If the Tangled Web Quilters guild also existed, I'd immediately become a member of it.
I also even wish that all the Elm Creek novels could be made into a tv series or movie, and be put on DVDs.
I look forward to reading all the other Elm Creek books.
NICE START TO A GREAT SERIES.......2006-10-06
This is a very nice start to a great and very successful series. Briefly, two folks have moved to start a new life. Through circumstances, which are delt with in the book, the young wife meets, goes to work for and developes a wonderful relationship with an older woman who is a master quilter. This author is a natural story teller and a mater herself with character developement. These are pleasing, secure books to read, the kind you like to relax with. This one is filled many side stories and many interesting characters. If you enjoy human interst, you will enjoy this one. Some have not been all that happy with this particular work. It must be remembered though that it is the beginning of a very long series and for a first start, I feel it is a pretty good one. This author has built up quite a fan base and after you have read a couple of her novels, you will understand why. I am not a quilter, never have been, never will be...I have no tallent nor desire. (I do follow my wife around to quilt shows though and do admire the art and artistic tallent it takes to make one of these things). My wife turned me on to this series. I do have a great interest in good story telling, in particular stories about the lives of people. This book, and others in the series fill that need quite well. Recommend this one highly.
Lovely, Charming Début Novel.......2006-09-19
In the 1st book in the Elm Creek Quilter's Novel series, we are introduced to Sarah and Matt McClure, a young couple that has moved to the small town of Waterford, Pennsylvania to start new careers and a new chapter of their lives together. Unsuccessful at finding permanent work in their previous residence, Matt finds work in the small college town in the landscaping business that he loves. Sarah, however, feels restless in the accounting field that she has worked in for years and half-heartedly sends out résumés in the new town hoping for a new start in her career. When Matt's company sends him on a long-term assignment restoring the long-neglected landscaping at Elm Creek Manor, he is able to secure Sarah a temporary position helping the owner clean up the premises for the upcoming sale of the property. Sarah begrudgingly accepts the position helping Mrs. Compton clean and organize the manor, and discovers beautiful quilts that Mrs. Compton has made. Striking a deal that includes quilting lessons along with her employment, Sarah is able to obtain a job along with a wonderful new hobby that sparks her interest. Working and quilting side-by-side, Mrs. Compton shares her family's history with Sarah and they piece together both a lasting friendship and a beautiful quilt along the way.
Having read mainly cozy mysteries for several years, when I stumbled over this interesting series I was hesitant to give it a try. I was looking for something a little different, however, and being a fan of small town cozies, I thought it might be a nice change to follow a recommendation of a friend and to read the first book in the series. I found it to be a warm-hearted, touching story about friendship between two women of different generations. The friendship and trust grew between the women as they pieced together a quilt and discussed the family that had once lived in the beautiful manor. I enjoyed Mrs. Compton's family stories most of all, and how her family's history slowly unfolded throughout the book. I am looking forward to reading more about these charming women in future installments, and would highly recommend this beautiful story about the power of friendship, love, and forgiveness.
The next book in the series is called "Round Robin". Enjoy!

Book Description
Phoebe Wycherly was missing two months before her wealthy father hired Archer to find her. That was plenty of time for a young girl who wanted to disappear to do so thoroughly--or for someone to make her disappear. Before he can find the Wycherly girl, Archer has to deal with the Wycherly woman, Phoebe's mother, an eerily unmaternal blonde who keeps too many residences, has too many secrets, and leaves too many corpses in her wake.
Customer Reviews:
Fast paced, suspenseful........2006-01-09
College senior Phoebe Wycherly has gone missing and her wealthy father, California oilman Homer Wycherly is desperate to find her. So, he hires veteran PI Lew Archer to track her down. Most of the narrative unfolds in northern California, many miles away from Archer's home base in Los Angeles.
Reading The Wycherly Woman is a real joy because the plot, though complex, is smoothly laid out with each chapter logically leading to the next. Also contributing to this novel's enjoyment quotient is the smart and plentiful dialogue Macdonald provides his characters.
As Archer steadfastly pursues the facts behind Phoebe's disappearance, the suspense builds and builds. This has the effect of making The Wycherly Woman one of Ross Macdonald's most engaging mysteries. I do, however, have to deduct one star from the rating. The plot device on which the solution to the mystery rests, is based on one character assuming the identity of another with the use of a rather transparent form of disguise. Though one could believe that some might be fooled by this, Macdonald has structured the plot such that Archer himself is also taken in. And that goes against everything we know about the ace detective's ultra acute powers of observation, especially when it comes to "reading" people.
A flawed yet extremely well written example of hardboiled detective fiction.
Sign of decline.......2001-06-16
Ross MacDonald is an accomplished mystery writer, but this novel, while entertaining, is the most contrived of his many books. It rests on a case of mistaken identity that could not possible have occured, given the ages of the two characters involved. Sadly, this novel offers the first sign that MacDonald was losing his great gifts as a writer.
A little convoluted, but it works..........2001-01-03
This was my third Ross MacDonald/Lew Archer mystery and probably my last. As with all detective series type novels, they are starting to lose their luster. As a stand-alone mystery novel it is top-notch in both story and charactarization, although the plot wandered a bit. I don't have the deep insight provided by the previous reviewer, but I can say that if you like Chandler style LA Noir, this one is as good as it gets.
Very well done.......1999-05-17
This is only the second book I have read by MacDonald but it certainly won't be the last. The plot and characterizations were both very strong. From what I have read so far, MacDonald compares very favorably with Hammett and Chandler. The thing that I probably like best about MacDonald is that his detective, Lew Archer, seems more like a real person than most of the detectives in this genre. He is tough, but he also shows some sensitivity and human emotion.
One of his very best efforts........1997-03-14
This novel includes everything MacDonald is best known for: far-flung sagas of wealthy families, gritty portrayals of California's marginal sectors, memorable characters, moral dilemmas, and a twist-filled plot leading to an irresistable climax. Worth a try even if you don't like mysteries or detective novels

Well done!.......2003-08-11
My second favorite clan...
This clanbook is very informative and really helped me to flesh out my Assamite character. This book helps one to understand the rigors of what it means to be an assamite.
I highly recomend this book to players and storytellers alike.
One of the Most Worthwhile Clanbooks.......2003-05-01
A whole heck of a lot is covered in this clanbook, probably making it the most-used clanbook I own, even after buying the other 12.
Pluses
- Gives an interesting historical overview of the clan, explains the warriors' ancient roles as judges of other vampires and notes some interesting run-ins between the Children of Haqim and the Baali as well as another point of view of Carthage
- Explains the Schism: the fundamental disagreement between ur-Shulgi's loyalists and al-Ashrad's schismatics; all the main political factions are detailed (loyalists, schismatics and antitribu as well as dispossessed). (Approximately one third of the Assamites fleeing Alamut and seeking to negotiate with the Camarilla is not something I expected, and the clan is more accessible and less inscrutable because of this turn of events)
- Fully details the three main Assamite bloodlines (viziers, warriors, sorcerers), giving the option to play any of them with its own set of shared-and-different Disciplines and (optional) alternate weakness
- Defines (albeit out of necessity) some Assamite-specific terminology (e.g. rafiq, the Du'at, Amr, etc.)
- The comments on other clans are very good as they give the *general* Assamite points of view toward the others but from Assamites of various ethnicities
- Elaborates on Haqim's laws (which is nice considering the interpretation of one of them is partly responsible for the Schism)
- Looks into the Blood Magic of the Assamite sorcerers as well as advanced Discipline powers; there's a very helpful list that pulls together the non-Assamite-specific thaumaturgical paths that Assamite sorcerers may pursue
- There are some interesting character templates (Bogeyman, Circuit Rider, Cleaner)
- Some very old, powerful, notable Assamites are listed in the back (such as Thetmes and Tegyrius)
Minuses
- Seems to be lacking a prelude short story (but probably because of the sheer amount of other stuff covered in the rest of the book)
- Some of the other character templates are just dull or seemingly uninspired
- Mention of some more notable Assamites would have been nice (since there are so many)
- A glossary right at the beginning of the book would have made terms easier to define and become familiar with
- Several formating oversights make finding specific sections of text a little difficult since not all the headers are in bold
A Long Needed Change for Clan Assamite.......2002-11-11
The Assamites, a clan of assassins hailing from Persia and Arabia, have long been characterized by negative stereotypes in the World of Darkness gamelines. The first edition clan book was filled with offensive remarks and stereotypes about Islamic culture and the Middle East. Clayton Oliver's revision of the clan was a very welcome change from all of that. The Assamites are detailed as being more or less like any other clan.
The first chapter opens with telling us everything that we have been told about the clan is a lie, created in part by the western clans, and in part by the Assamites need to remain secret. We are given an extensive history of the Assamite's role in Middle Eastern history, from ancient Mesopotamia, Persia, Babylon, Carthage, Greece and Assyria to Byzantine era. Great detail is given to the Crusades, the back story being that the Crusades shattered the Assamite's relation to the west. From then on, we get some brief views of Assamite activities during the Ottoman Empire, the British invasion of India, the formation of the Arab States, and finally the modern era.
The next chapter goes into detail concerning the Assamite's social structre. The main body of the clan, following an ancient Mesopotamian God-King Ur-Shulgi, is given great detail. With social ranks going from the Du'at (three leaders of the clan) to the Silsila (elder priest types) to the Fida'i (initiates to the clan). We also learn that there are three Assamite castes. The main caste, the warriors, are not the assassins that are always presented as Assamites. Indeed, the warriors were once judges and law enforcers, but slowly changed to warriors over time. And not all, or even most, are assassins. Indeed, they are body gaurds, soldiers, straegists, communications experts, technicians, smugglers, martial artists and bedouin lords. There are also two other castes. The sorcerers are blood magicians, drawing from ancient Hebrew, Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Arabian, Persian and Indian magics. They are just as potent and deadly as the Tremere. The other caste are Viziers, the scholars and artisans of the clan. Not only are they record keepers, scholars and historians, but also scientists, linguists, religious experts, artists, jewellers, calligraphers, storytellers, legal expets, journaliss, Bollywood producers, politicians and so forth. Each gets a write up, complete with advantages, weaknesses, clan disciplines and bloodlines, and even specific ranks and offices.
We are then presented with the Laws of Haqim, which unit the Assamite clan and guide them towards their goals. Political factions, from the loyalists, to those who want to break with the clan, to the Sabbat and Camarilla members, to those who follow other paths (like the Israeli Leopards of Zion, all female Furies of Erinyes and the elite hashashyin of the Web of Knives) are explored. We are also treated with steroetypes about the "foreign" clans and other creatures of the night. The chapter closes out with some details on unique Assamite disciplines and merits and flaws. Not only do we get unique multi-discipline powers, but also higher level Quietus powers, unique Celerity and Obfuscate powers, a vizier-specific Auspex power and the all new Assamite sorcery disicpline which draws on Mesopotamian and Persian blood magics.
And of course, the book closes out with nine ready made Assamite templates (three for each caste, and one for each faction), several signature characters (some with stats) and an Assamite specific character sheet. Some of the more interesting templates included the archaeologist, character assassin, prophet of caine and witch-hunter (cool). Naturally, the signature characters included Fatima al-Faqadi (the Assamite signature character), but it also includes some really neat ones like Mata Hari (THE Mata Hari), Janni (an Israeli Assamite), Tegyrius (leader of the Schism who once rode with Alexander the Great) and Nar-Sheptha (a Babylonian sorceress bound into a series of CD-ROMS filled with magic lore), amongst others.
All in all, I think this book has been extremley useful for the vampire setting, getting rid of some extremely offensive and prejudiced views from earlier editions and making vampire games fit better into a Middle Eastern setting. If you want to be able to play an Assamite with any depth, this book is a much needed supplement. Easily the best of the Clan books.
First edition is still worth reading........2001-09-05
The first edition is definitely still worth reading. Unlike the second it contains a short description of the very beginning. The First City makes the foundation for our Jyhad. It is vital to understand the crucial role of Assamites in the world of vampires. The book includes the Khabar - essential rules for every Assamite's life. Unfortunately both had been skipped in the second edition. You also find aiming rules, special weapons, new merits&flaws and more.
I won't consider the books to editions, rather they are two volumes of the Clanbook. If you have access to it, you should read it.
Everything You Know Is Wrong............2001-02-13
The new CLANBOOK ASSAMITE offers a wealth of information about this often misunderstood clan, challenging many long standing assumptions. It backs off things (like the duty to destroy other vampires) that made Assamites difficult to play with non-Assamite characters. Changes from the original CLANBOOK ASSAMITE include expanded roles for female and non-Middle Eastern Assamites.
The Assamite belief that they may judge (and punish) other vampires receives a noble explanation here along with the Laws of Haqim which codify such duties. The ranks and factions of Assamite society are examined (antitribu included). The three basic Assamite castes (warrior, scholar and sorcerer) receive full treatment as sub-classes with their own discipline specialties etc. The book describes the ramifications of the Schism between Ur-Shulgi's followers and those of Al-Ashrad. The features are great: MET statistics, notable Assamites, character templates, discussion of clan disciplines, new discipline variations including an Assamite Sorcery path.
Now the bad news: IMO this is the hardest book in the new CLANBOOK series so far. It constantly assumes prior knowledge. For example, a summary of the Schism and explanations of terms like "Web of Knives" and "dispossessed" are only provided toward the end although they are mentioned throughout the book as if they're already familiar. Unexplained, specialized terms ("kalif") sometimes appear. (The original CLANBOOK ASSAMITE had a glossary at the beginning- an unfortunate omission here.) Ur-Shulgi and Al-Ashrad, meanwhile, are omitted from the notable Assamite section- despite mention throughout the book and despite the fact that an update of the character profiles in CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT was needed in light of the Schism. (You'd need familiarity with other books to recognize the picture of them on pg. 30.) Less scattered discussion of issues related to the Path of Blood (outlined in VtM's basic rules) would have been helpful.
Some advice if this book overwhelms you: There's a shorter, more concise, (clearer) treatment of many of the main points in LIBELLUS SANGUINIS III: WOLVES AT THE DOOR (for VAMPIRE: DARK AGES) as well as an Assamite Sorcery path. (The new CLANBOOK ASSAMITE seems to be a needed update of that material for a modern setting.) There's background on the characters of Ur-Shulgi and Al-Ashrad in CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT but little about their roles in the Schism. NIGHTS OF PROPHECY has a good summary of the Schism (including Ur-Shulgi and Al-Ashrad) and other recent Assamite developments. BLOOD MAGIC: SECRETS OF THAUMATURGY has more paths for Assamite sorcery. Material about Islam and vampire characters in Muslim settings is provided in WORLD OF DARKNESS: SECOND EDITION (chapter on Arabia) and in the V:DA supplement JERUSALEM BY NIGHT . The original CLANBOOK: ASSAMITE also has a list of selected reading on the Middle East.
Don't get me wrong. I recommend this book highly. It changed the way I viewed this clan. (I used to HATE Assamites, actually.) It's essential for Assamite character players and for Storytellers. It may take extra effort for those new to VtM but it's worth it.

Why is this not manditory reading for psychology?.......2005-03-14
A fascinating, entertaining book. I cannot recommend Cushman highly enough! It is truly disappointing that book has been overlooked by the discipline of psychology. However, the reasons it has been are obvious once you read it. Cushman details how psychology ignores its basic assumptions (e.g., about the self, the nature of understanding) and consequently perpetuates the problems it seeks to allieviate. This is a central point -- psychology is elevating a notion of self (i.e., the empty self) that is only filled by psychotherapy, not "cured". For those who are willing to reflect on how the profession is influenced by moral presuppositions, and political and economic factors - this is a must read. Moreover - Cushman offers solutions. For those who know of this book -- it is a hidden classic.
An overlooked masterpiece.......2003-08-11
This book looks at American cultural history since the Civil War through the prism of historical changes in the field of psychotherapy--and at the same time puts psychotherapy in a historical context. It's simply the best cultural history of the US I've ever read. It traces the threads--primarily unbridled capitalism, rugged individualism, and the decline of the family and community--that have left us with the "empty self" which so many suffer from today. That is, a self that is depressed, anxious, psychosomatic, addicted--desperate to be filled up, by consumer goods, by peak experiences, by celebrity, by psychotherapy--without recognizing how much of our suffering comes from social change.
The thread of self is woven into psychology and history.......2002-08-13
This is a fun and informative description of how history and psychology have influenced each other, resulting in a sense of self that shapes and is shaped by our culture. Many psychological approaches end up in navel gazing introversion. Cushman dispenses with these and paints a clear picture of history and psychology dancing together in an embrace that allows the self to be both a cultural artifact and a culture shaper. Ideas can change the world and Cushman's book is full of ideas that have changed history, for better or for worse. The combination of academic rigor, interesting anecdotal evidence and plain funny material are rare in a single volume. If you are tired of the standard psychological introversion, try this one for a refreshing perspective on the dynamics of history, culture and the self.
Excellent in every way.......1999-06-03
I'm a Master's level student doing research with the influence of racism on the psychology of Black people. I found this book extremely enlightening. It was recommended to me by a professor and I haven't put it down yet!!! Great resource.
Important for anyone practicing or consuming Psychology.......1998-11-06
I use this book as part of my "Politics of Psychology" course at Antioch University Los Angeles. Cushman provides a wonderfully idiosyncratic reading of the development of the discipline and practice of Psychology in the United States. Using a social constructionist lens he presents a strong argument intent on demonstrating the various ways in which economic, political and cultural concerns gave shape to the contemporary practice of psychology. Cushman's work is puncuated with interesting stories told in his warm and enriching style, but it also provides careful argument and analysis along the way.
