As the family gathers around the front porch to once again hear Abby Whitshank tell the tale of how she fell in love with Red that day in July 1959, she realizes that they are growing older and decisions must be made about how best to look after them and their home . . .
Freshly observed, joyful, and wrenching, A Spool of Blue Thread brims with insight, humor, and generosity of spirit as it tells a poignant yet unsentimental tale in praise of family in all its emotional complexity.
