A Mending at the Edge (Change and Cherish Historical Series #3)

<b>&quot;Of all the things I left in Willapa, hope is what I missed the most.&quot;<br></b><br>So begins this story of one woman's restoration from personal grief to the meaning of community. 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 an ordinary life. While set in the historical past, it's a story for our own time answering the question:<b> </b>Can threads of an isolated life weave a legacy of purpose in community?
