The past threatens to destroy the good days ahead. Liz has overcome the emptiness of her husband’s death, the hardships of the trip west, and even the robbery and murder of her beloved grandfather. Standing at the altar, she feels hope for the first time in many years. Settling into their new home in Fort Worth, Texas, the cousins begin to build a new life, now that grandfather is gone. But their minds are never at rest. Abby initiates the work necessary to start a new school, while Liz works in the mercantile. Emma stands firm as a herd of cattle and cowboys come dangerously close, sparking a new venture for her. She learns that providing the cowboys with food and shelter, for both them and their horses, can bring extra income into the household, but she’ll need the help of the lighthearted Megan. When Liz becomes sick, the whole town is abuzz. As the women gather at the quilting frame, their relationships grow strong—working together while facing the hardships and joys of Texas prairie life. Join the four cousins as they forge a new family amid the unfamiliar ways of those living on the plains, and feel with them the suffering of loss and the joy of true love found.

The day twelve-year-old Clara finds a desperate note in a purse in Bellman's department store, she is still reeling from the death of her adopted sister, Lola. By that day, thirteen-year-old Yuming has lost hope that the note she stashed in the purse will ever be found. She may be stuck sewing in the pale pink factory outside of Beijing forever. Clara grows more and more convinced that she was meant to find Yuming's note. Lola would have wanted her to do something about it. But how can Clara talk her parents, who are also in mourning, into going on a trip to China? Finally the time comes when Yuming weighs the options, measures the risk, and attempts a daring escape. The lives of two girls -- one American, and one Chinese -- intersect like two soaring kites in this story about loss, hope, and recovery.

This globe-spanning history of sewing and embroidery, culture and protest, is “an astonishing feat . . . richly textured and moving” (The Sunday Times, UK). In 1970s Argentina, mothers marched in headscarves embroidered with the names of their “disappeared” children. In Tudor, England, when Mary, Queen of Scots, was under house arrest, her needlework carried her messages to the outside world. From the political propaganda of the Bayeux Tapestry, World War I soldiers coping with PTSD, and the maps sewn by schoolgirls in the New World, to the AIDS quilt, Hmong story clothes, and pink pussyhats, women and men have used the language of sewing to make their voices heard, even in the most desperate of circumstances. Threads of Life is a chronicle of identity, memory, power, and politics told through the stories of needlework. Clare Hunter, master of the craft, threads her own narrative as she takes us over centuries and across continents—from medieval France to contemporary Mexico and the United States, and from a POW camp in Singapore to a family attic in Scotland—to celebrate the universal beauty and power of sewing.
