It is 1911, and Jean is about to join the mass strike at the Singer factory. For her, nothing will be the same again. Decades later, Connie sews coded moments of her life into a notebook, as her mother did before her. More than 100 years after his grandmother’s sewing machine was made, Fred unpicks the secrets of four generations, one stitch at a time.©2017 Natalie Fergie (P)2017 W. F.

I had to take notes to follow along! I loved this story and it's dips and curves, bringing these people together like a patchwork quilt. Great narration, it was helpful to have the different voices

I did find it a touch hard to follow the multiple perspectives as an audio book, but it was worth focusing on the year and name to help keep them straight because it is a lovely story. It is realistic, interesting and specific enough that it both peaks your interest and feels like a family history handed down.

very good!
