"I wouldn't be your daughter if I just sat back and did nothing." --Lily
The Thread Collectors was a wonderfully unique historical fiction novel set during the Civil War following the lives of black and white musician soldiers, and the women who will do whatever within their means to bring them home safely. I liked that this story was realistic about the limitations women had at the time. I do feel like the ending put just too nice of a bow on everything though.
You are not powerless. You can do more than just sit and wait.
