As readers witness the resilience of the human spirit, they come to a new perspective on their own experiences, recognizing the good still in their lives. Common Threads is a tender and warm embrace, a story of faith and love, of insight, determination, independence and strength. These women's large and small victories are metaphors for hope and continuity.
