Driven Apart by Their Past, Can the Bonds of Sisterhood Survive
What Lies Ahead?
From the dramatic tradition of such classics as Little Women and A
Thousand Acres comes Tracie Peterson's contemporary novel, A
Slender Thread. Well-known for her Westward Chronicles series as
well as her historical series with Judith Pella, Peterson now uses
her agile storytelling skills to tackle a family saga about the
bonds of sisterhood, which you will not want to miss.
United for the first time in years, five sisters return to their
childhood in order to bid farewell to a mother they never knew,
lost to the world that had made her a star. Knowing her only in her
films, the sisters feel neither an emotional connection with her
tragic death nor with each other. Only their deep love for their
godly grandmother, Mattie, pulls them together.
In the wake of the funeral, the Mitchell sisters discover the
impact of their absent mother on the choices they've made
throughout their lives. A heartrending betrayal and a second
tragedy threaten them further. Haunted by the past, unsure of the
future, the sisters have only the example of Mattie and God's grace
reaching through her lives to make them a family.
Tracie Peterson is a full-time author who has written or
co-written over fifty novels in both historical and contemporary
genres, including the WESTWARD CHRONICLES, the YUKON QUEST and the
SHANNON SAGA series.
Tracie also teaches writing workshops at a variety of conferences
on subjects including inspirational romance and historical
research. She and her family live in Montana.
