About this ebook
Set in the shadow of Biltmore Estate, a poignant tale of friendship, restoration, and second chances.
Seven years ago, a hidden betrayal scattered three young friends living in the shadow of the great Vanderbilt mansion. Now, when Biltmore Industries master weaver Lorna Blankenship is commissioned to create an original design for Cornelia Vanderbilt's 1924 wedding, she panics knowing she doesn't have the creativity needed. But there's an elusive artisan in the Blue Ridge Mountains who could save her--if only she knew where to begin.
To track down the mysterious weaver, Lorna sees no other way than to seek out the relationships she abandoned in shame. As she pulls at each tangled thread from her past, Lorna is forced to confront the wounds and regrets of life long ago. She'll have to risk the job that shapes her identity, as well as the hope of friendship--and love--restored.
"The history is fascinating, but the characters and the challenges they face are what make this story one to remember."--ANN H. GABHART, bestselling author of In the Shadow of the River

Lies, betrayal, abandonment, hope, love, and redemption all come together to weave a beautiful story in These Tangled Threads. This book was so creatively written. Three different characters spanning a period of seven to eight years tell their stories after being rescued by the Vanderbilts to work as artisans in the Biltmore Industries. Multiple time lines & characters can be confusing at first. Recommend this book to those who enjoy historical fiction with a touch of romance & faith.
