Have you read the Marie Bostwick series about a quilting store and the people in it? Enjoyed them all.
If you are looking for something that doesn't include quilts, try Brava Valentine, Very Valentine and the Shoemaker's Daughter. Or books by Rosanna Chiofalo - Bella Fortunate and Carissima. You can read descriptions on Amazon.
Good luck to your daughter and to you. I hope this stressful time is over soon.
