Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The final book in Jane Kirkpatrick's Tender Ties series beautifully illustrates the universal desire for a family's acceptance and the power of forgiveness. As the 1840s bring conflict to the Pacific Northwest, new challenges face Marie Dorion Venier Toupin, the wife, mother, and Ioway Indian woman who crossed the Rocky Mountains with the first fur expedition after Lewis and Clark. In the Oregon Territory, Marie strives to meet the needs of her conflict-ridden neighbors: British settlers and Americans, missionaries and disease-stricken natives, fur trappers and French Canadian farming families, and the surviving natives of the region. At the same time, Marie must weave together the threads of her unraveling family. One daughter compares and judges as she seeks her place; another reaches for elusive evidence of her mothers love. Marie's memories are threatened with the emergence of a figure from the past. In the midst of this turmoil, Marie discovers an empowering spiritual truth: Unconditional love can shed light on even the darkest places in the heart. Review:"Jane Kirkpatrick writes from a depth and richness of detailed research and from a genuine affection and respect for her characters. She gives us strong, admirable women with sensitive spirits, courage, and the capacity for unconditional love. Hold Tight the Thread is a thoughtful, skillfully prepared feast for those of us always hungry for more quality historical fiction. Like her other novels, this is a story that allows us to experience the struggles and adventures and faith of another time through characters we can learn to know — and love." B.J. Hoff, author of The American Anthem series and An Emerald Ballad About the AuthorJane Kirkpatrick is a best-selling author whose novels include the BookSense 76 Selection A Name of Her Own, Every Fixed Star, and the acclaimed Kinship and Courage series: All Together in One Place, No Eye Can See, and What Once We Loved.
