The Quilt We Shared
C.M. Wayers
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Some memories are sewn in silence. Others scream through every stitch.
In the quiet corners of a forgotten attic, an old quilt resurfaces—faded, frayed, and full of secrets. Each patch is a story. Each thread, a tether to lives once lived and loves once lost. But this is no ordinary heirloom. This quilt remembers. It listens. It holds. And it never forgets.
The Quilt We Shared unfolds through the quiet, haunting perspective of the quilt itself—an ever-present witness to generations of joy, sorrow, betrayal, and healing. As it moves from hand to hand, home to home, decade to decade, it binds together the intimate moments that define us: the whispered promises between lovers under midnight skies, the fierce embraces between parents and children in times of despair, the silent prayers of those simply trying to endure another day.
From hospital beds and homeless shelters to wedding nights and funeral parlors, the quilt has been there—soaking up tears, absorbing laughter, and bearing witness to moments no one else saw. Through its lens, we come to understand how grief can harden or soften us, how forgiveness can come from the unlikeliest of places, and how healing sometimes begins not with words, but with presence.
Poetic, introspective, and deeply emotional, The Quilt We Shared is a literary meditation on memory, loss, resilience, and the everyday objects that carry the weight of our lives. In the tradition of literary object narratives, C.M. Wayers invites us to see the world not just as we remember it, but as it remembers us.
Because sometimes, the things we carry aren’t just ours to keep—they're the legacy we leave behind.
