Like the blocks of a quilt, several different tales are worked together to create a larger story of women's experiences in the twentieth century.
Whitney Otto je autorka, ktorej diela sa vyznačujú hlbokým skúmaním ľudských vzťahov a americkej kultúry. Svoje príbehy rozpráva s citom pre detail a psychologickú hĺbku postáv. Jej písanie často odhaľuje skryté túžby a zložitosť života, čo čitateľom prináša silný emocionálny zážitok. Otto sa zameriava na témy identity a spoločenstva, pričom jej štylistický prístup je súčasne poetický aj prenikavý.
