The Rescue Quilt by Carol Dean Jones

When sixty-eight-year-old Sarah Miller moves into the Cunningham Village retirement community, she is mourning the loss of her husband, her young grandson, and the place that has been home for forty-two years. But Sarah is a survivor. As she reaches out into the retirement community that is to become home, she finds friends, activities, new hobbies, and a possible love interest. The seventh installment of this fun, friendly series of cozy mysteries centers on Sarah's friend Sophie, as she encounters several major life changes, including two new family members and a job working with abandoned animals.
