The Thread Collectors by Shaunna J. Edwards, Alyson Richman
4.0
I found the most compelling dynamic to be between Stella, her half sister and their mother. Her sister is dark-skinned and has been made, by their mother, to be a servant to Stella, since she is fair in complexion. Honestly, I wanted to hear more about the three of these women. All in all, this story is about love, friendship, what we sacrifice for others and fighting for injustice any way we know how.
What's interesting about this book is the collaboration between the two authors. Richman is a Jewish New Yorker and Edwards is a Black native Louisianan. Both women come from completely different backgrounds but they pulled from their own familial history in order to shed light on perspectives that haven’t yet been seen in historical fiction.
