Today at Christian Fiction I'm giving away a great book with a strong mother protagonists:
A Mending at the Edge (Change and Cherish Historical Series #3)
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 and 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?
An excerpt...
Women bore the brunt, no matter how dangerous it might have been to remain married to some brute. Women were left to fend for themselves and their children, to pay for the rest of their days for the poor choices they once made. Women suffered they stayed married, chose to live with the disgrace of divorce, or dangled dangerously in between.
You will enjoy this book!
