The Thread Collectors. is a co-authored book, all the more compelling because of the family connections of the authors to the events of this story, set during the Civil War, much of it in Louisiana, and centering around two couples, one couple enslaved, and the other couple White & Jewish. Shaunna J. Edwards is African American and grew up in Louisiana, worked as a lawyer, with this being her first published book. Her co-author is Alyson Richman for whom this is her 10th book, and together Alyson & Shaunna explore the universally recognizable issues around racism, slavery, discrimination, war, and family, bringing out ignored & neglected history.
Past/present religious/spiritual influences: Jewish, Catholic
