Publisher's Note
Taste the dust of the road and feel the wind in your face as you travel with a Kentucky family by wagon trail to the new territory of Kansas in 1854. In the form of letters she wrote on the journey, Deborah Pieratt describes the scenery, the everyday events on the trail, and the task of taking care of her family. Stories of humor and despair, along with her ongoing remarks about camping, cooking, and quilting make you feel as if you pulled up stakes and are traveling with the Pieratts, too.

Industry reviews
Linda Hubalek has created an impressive three volume trilogy of historic fiction spanning the years 1854 through 1865. Trail of Thread: A Woman's Westward Journey is the life of Deborah Pieratt as she treks to the new Territory of Kansas. Through her letters we hear stories of humor and despair, along with trail-side camping, cooking and quilting. Readers will feel as if they pulled up stakes and traveled along with Deborah themselves. Thimble of Soil: A Woman's Quest for Land tells how the widow Margaret Ralston Kennedy travels with eight of her thirteen children from Ohio to the territory of Kansas in 1855. Then, while her sons are away fighting to free the Kansas territory from Missouri's pro-slavery forces, Margaret valiantly defends the homestead itself and holds the families together through the savage years of "Bleeding Kansas". Stitch of Courage: A Woman's fight for Freedom tells of the orphaned Maggie Kennedy, niece of Margaret and, later, wife of Deborah Pieratt's son. Maggie describes how the women of the new State of Kansas faced the horrors of the Civil War. Women alone banding together to protect their homes and children, never knowing from one day to the next whether their husbands and sons are alive or dead on some far lonely battlefield. Linda Hubalek has paid great attention to historical detail while her gifts as a storytelling draw the reader into the lives and events of her heroines with a charismatic intensity that is rarely equaled and never surpassed. This is historical fiction at its finest as both history and as narrative fiction. Although each book can be obtained separately ($9.95 each), the recommendation is for acquiring the entire trilogy.
