A Slender Thread

By: Tracie Peterson

Narrated by: Ruth Ann Phimister

Best-selling, award-winning author Tracie Peterson infuses her compelling novels with practical faith and courage. In this story of one contemporary family, she deftly weaves together the lives of five very different young women as they face life's tragedies and triumphs.

Abandoned by their mother while they were still small children, the Mitchell sisters have always felt the pain of rejection. Their search for love and a sense of worth drives them apart by the time they are adults. But when their mother, now a famous actress, suffers an untimely death, the five reunite for the funeral. There, they begin to salvage frayed relationships, held together only by a slender thread.

As new trials come their way, the women struggle to maintain the tenuous bonds of sisterhood and find a reason to go on. Narrator Ruth Ann Phimister will keep listeners captivated as each of the sisters experiences the healing power of love and acceptance.

Family Love

I liked everything about this book. I wish it were a series. I would love to read more about them.

Estes Park

Enjoyed the book and the narration.
But every time she said Estes I felt like nails on a chalkboard. Estes is pronounced 'Est-iss' not '-ees', not ' -ays'. I'm surprised it wasn't researched better, I really enjoy her narrations. Often searching for books she narrates.
Thanks

Knowing your village

This book gave such good points on hardship, and how family can be your village. The love of a grandmother can cure all things. I love how this book had so many good points to it, sharing the love of a grandmother and the love of family altogether.

A wonderful story of the power of forgiveness.

A Slender Thread

I would thoroughly recommend this book - I usually reserve my audiobooks for when I'm on the treadmill but I couldn't wait to see how the sisters would all come together so sat up one night to finish listening. Tracie weaves a rather true to life story not only showing how often things that happen to us in life affect the choices we make but it showed what often happens amonst siblings as they grow up and leave their family home. I loved what the quilt illustrated. Thank you Tracie and thank you Ruth - I really enjoyed your reading of this story.
