A Thread Of Truth [With Earbuds] (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

I wasn't sure I'd like to read about spousal abuse and violence against women, but the quilting theme drew me in. I bought this book on my kobo. It's the second in a series and I wish I'd read the first one first. I thought it was well written, but the author really needs a proofreader who doesn't fall asleep in the last half of the book. There were far too many obvious mistakes. I will read more of her writing however. A little fairy tale ending, but over all a really good story about domestic violence, standing up for yourself, and friendship. Abusive ex runs a nursing home, which being a disability rights activist, I know tend to be abusive, so art imitates life. I really appreciate Howard, a young man with Down Syndrome who is a minor character, but has own gifts, is more than his impairment, and is growing in independence book by book. I have read the first two books in 2.5 days. I have the remaining 3 and the prequel on order from my library. Waiting impatiently!
