Paperback. Condición: Good. WEAVING THE THREADS is a collection of memory/tales about events that have shaped the lives of sixteen different writers. The tone varies with the subject matter of each piece: humorous, philosophical, elegiac, ironic, etc. This unique collection of short memoirs edited by Enid Baron, Ph.D., and Barbara Gazzolo, M Div, presents vivid narrative snapshots of personal lives that span the 20th and 21st centuries.

But even when the pattern is ambiguous or the theme remains a mystery, the reader cannot help but admire the beauty of the threads themselves and the power of each episode to evoke the deepest human feelings. -- Dan P. McAdams, the Henry Wade Rogers Professor of Psychology, Northwestern University, author of THE REDEMPTIVE SELF: STORIES AMERICANS LIVE BY.…
