Book Description

Sherice is a new mother, a sonographer, quilter, and wife; an overworked young woman whose elderly mother is slipping away from her.

Sylvie is a newlywed and recent immigrant, unemployed and virtually penniless. Her husband’s paycheck can’t even cover prenatal care, let alone a baby, and her due date is only drawing nearer…

Joanne’s unconventional pregnancy turns her world upside down, redefining her career and relationships, and even bringing to the surface long-buried demons from her past.

Payton is seventeen, pregnant, and on the run. She flees to her uncle in Georgia with the hope of making a fresh start, but discovers making it on her own is harder than she could ever have imagined.

Gloria is trapped in an unhappy marriage; in love with someone else. Her life is falling apart. With a baby on the way, would it be selfish to flee?

Five women, once strangers, form bonds. Set in modern day Georgia, this is the story of friendship that blossoms in the land of country music, sweet tea, and secrets kept locked tight behind closed doors. Moving, funny, and at times heartbreaking, The Thread That Binds is a lesson in empathy, strength, and the beauty of love.

My Review

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

The Thread That Binds is a story about 5 women, most of them pregnant, who become friends. As time goes on, they depend on each other for support. Each woman has her unique struggles but they’re able to overcome what they’re going through with love and support of their families and friends.

The characters are well developed. They are all so different and yet they all have new families starting. No matter what situation they’re in, they have that in common and they do what they can to help each other.

I really liked the ending. It was perfect. Anyone who likes women’s fiction will like The Thread that Binds.
