ABOUT THE BOOK
A SINGLE THREAD is a contemporary novel that deals friendship; and in having hope for the future. It’s the unforgettable story of four very different women whose paths cross, changing their lives forever. A SINGLE THREAD is a touching story of four women whose lives are in crisis when they happen to meet at a quilting fund-raiser; and although they are unlikely friends, they form a bond and they support each other through their struggles, their grief, and their hopes for better days. Set in a small Connecticut town, this engaging novel shows how strangers can build a community of friendship; and how women with disappointed hopes can learn to trust, to laugh, to live and to love again. It is a poignant reminder of the single thread that binds us all. The sequel, SUNLIGHT IN THE COURTYARD is scheduled for June 2009.
