NY Times Bestselling Authors Discuss the Thread Collectors

On a recent Price of Business, Host Kevin Price interviewed NY Times bestselling author Alyson Richman and Shaunna J. Edwards about their new book, The Thread Collectors.

According to a statement, “Making history alive and interesting is no easy task. It’s a challenge that some writers take on in the form of historical fiction – placing a plotline back in time to capture that period – but not all writers succeed.

“NY Times bestselling author ALYSON RICHMAN and SHAUNNA J. EDWARDS have figured it out! And critics agree! BOOK BUB has included their new book – THE THREAD COLLECTORS – in their BEST HISTORICAL FICTION BOOKS OF 2022.

“On August 31 – the authors will discuss the importance of retelling history, the art of making it come alive and their new book. And if you’re just looking for a good book to take you back in time, you’ll want to hear all about this one!

 

“The THREAD COLLECTORS (Graydon House/Harper Collins)  – while historical fiction – is drawn from the authors’ real-life ancestral experiences, both touched by slavery. ALYSON RICHMAN (a white writer) and SHAUNNA J. EDWARDS (a black writer) offer up a rich historical novel set during the Civil War about 2 women – one Black and yearning for freedom in New Orleans, the other a Jewish abolitionist in New York – whose resourceful sewing to support their communities leads them on unexpected, dangerous journeys as they fight to bring their beloveds home from the front. These authors have succeeded in bringing history to life!”
