i read this book when i was in 4th or 5th grade and cant remember the title it was a bout a girl who was married into this family at a very young age and her husband who was only a couple years older was very sick and needed her dowry money to travel to some big city and swim in its holy waters. He ends up dying and even though the girls mother-in-law was mean when she first got there she was even meaner after her sons death. the girl was treated like a slave and was never aloud to see her family, only once after her marriage did she get to visit her ( i think) older sister who had also just married, but to a wealthy man whom loved her. I forget how but the girl ends up being left at a train station or something and begins to work in a flower making garland shop where she mets this other guy. THey become really close, and i can't remember but i think that they end up getting married. anyway it would really help if someone could give me a title i was thinking it had the word quilt in it, but once again i cant remember. thanks
