Review :
The Tapestry Series:
... is filled with adventure, survival, courage, restoration, and friendship. The author's voice is rhythmic and poetic. Never a dull moment, Brigid Anne Dunsmore deals with bats, insects, plagues, caves with jeweled stalactites and stalagmites, but most of all danger. This book has it all: good versus evil, laughter and tears, and a very satisfying ending.
Award-winning author of Captured Secrets, Carmen Peone
I don't want to spoil this wonderfully engaging read for anyone, so I won't give away why this loom is so amazing or why it's so sought-after by both the heroes and villains. Such a well-written, captivating, and original story for all ages!

Carol Craig brings her expertise in word crafting into our literary world with Threading the Loom. I read the entire book in one day! Brigid, though downtrodden, faces challenges that threaten to change her truly good spirit. One woman stands alone to face the traditions of an emotionless community, where no one dares stand up to the heartless standards, let alone allow any woman a voice or emotion. Like a fever, the masses follow her, enabled by her bravery to proclaim a joyful existence and denounce the ideology of evil ruling mankind.
