Book Cover & Preview Text
She could hardly sleep. She could not rest her mind, so tightly wrapped was it around Marie's fearful disclosure. What could she do before the return of David and her brother? She visualized the scene that might take place if John came back to find all of this. He would raise the roof, insisting upon the lash for Moses that all know that this sort of disobedience would not be tolerated within the Vandenberg household. Lawlessness could not be ignored.

Reader Review-"Threads An American Tapestry"
Book Review by L. Rae Rao (Texas) June 28,2009
Fascinating History says Reviewer L. Rae Rao of Gloria Waldron Hukle's Third Novel.
"As the great-granddaughter of a Delaware Indian (Lenape, Turkey Clan) I found Threads An American Tapestry to be a facinating look at the life of Margaret Vandenberg, the daughter of a Lenape mother and wealthy Dutch father, who lived in the early l700s in colonial New York. Strengthened by her faith, she successfully faced many challenges managing the large land holdings inherited from her father. I'm impressed by the author's insight into two very different cultures. Obviously extensively researched, very well done!"-L. Rae Rao, Texas
