Pages : 470
Book Description
Capturing rural life in West Tennessee from the Civil War era to the early years of Vietnam, Threads of the Tapestry is a saga of survival connecting the lives of five generations. With a do-or-die spirit, Molly finds the courage to hold her family and plantation together, even in the depths of tragedy. In the revived culture of the South, her daughter Martha suffers trials of injustice, loss, and death. Rachel, Martha's perfectionist, chooses a simple farm life, even as Tennessee invites industrialism. And fun-loving Harris, whose innate concern for others recaptures his mother's spirit, finds himself surrounded by immorality and inhumanity in the first world war. He lives to see his daughter Laura, old-fashioned in a world of feminism, survive a ruthless marriage. These descendants are the family's buttresses. They are the strong who by virtue of their strengths must carry the weak.
