The Thread Collectors
by Shaunna J. Edwards, Alyson Richman
She sat in the chair by the window, the sunlight pouring through the dust streaked glass. In her lap she held a piece of delicate cotton, a bright colorful thread weaving through its center. She carefully moved her needle through the cloth, each stitch a lifesaving one. A single tear fell from her eye, as she pictured the man this map was going to and she prayed for his safe journey and that one day he’d come home.
The Thread Collectors is a powerful historical fiction story set in the 1860s during the Civil War. The book follows multiple point of views as these people navigate the war and their place in it. A white couple from the north, he fighting in the war, and she doing her part to help. A black couple in the south, he fleeing his master to help fight, and she secretly sewing maps to help lead men to safety.
This book had me wrapped up in so many emotions and I loved each character in this story so much. This is not an easy read in any way; this war a brutal and angering part of this country’s history. But wow, this author duo penned a wonderful story filled with strength and hope.
If you’re a historical fiction fan and want a civil war era read, then I highly recommend picking up this book!
