Bound to a man who would kill her if he knew of her clandestine activities, Stella has to hide not only her efforts but her love for William, a Black soldier and a brilliant musician. Meanwhile, in New York City, a Jewish woman stitches a quilt for her husband, who is stationed in Louisiana with the Union Army. Between abolitionist meetings, Lily rolls bandages and crafts quilts with her sewing circle for other soldiers, too, hoping for their safe return home. But when months go by without word from her husband, Lily resolves to make the perilous journey South to search for him. As these two women risk everything for love and freedom during the brutal Civil War, their paths converge in New Orleans, where an unexpected encounter leads them to discover that even the most delicate threads have the capacity to save us. Loosely inspired by the authors' family histories, this stunning novel will stay with readers for a long time"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 0 $a Underground Railroad $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Embroidery $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women slaves $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African American women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jewish women $v Fiction. 651 0 $a United States $x Women $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Women $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New Orleans (La.) $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fiction. 650 0 $a Historical fiction. 650 0 $a History. 650 0 $a Novels. 700 1 $a Richman, Alyson, $e author. 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print historical fiction. 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230405013424.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5211CBF0D37711ED83DD52344BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
