Description - A Mending at the Edge by Jane Kirkpatrick
This novel will appeal to readers of Kirkpatrick's previous best-selling works, particularly her historical novels, including the first two in this series- A Clearing in the Wild and A Tendering in the Storm. History buffs, especially those interested in women's studies and the frontier Northwest also will be interested in this book.
"Of all the things I left in Willapa, hope is what I missed the most."
So begins this story of one woman's restoration from personal grief to the meaning of community. Based on the life of German-American Emma Wagner Giesy, the only woman sent to the Oregon Territory in the 1850s to help found a communal society, award-winning author Jane Kirkpatrick shows how landscape, relationships, spirituality and artistry poignantly reflect a woman's desire to weave a unique and meaningful legacy from the threads of an ordinary life. While set in the historical past, it's a story for our own time answering the question- Can threads of an isolated life weave a legacy of purpose in community?
