A Spellbinding Tale of Hidden Heritage and the Memories Woven into Ancient Cloth
When Jennifer Grimme touches a scrap of ancient cloth in her late grandmother’s cellar, a thousand years of buried memory opens beneath her hand.
Also available in Kindle Unlimited.
She sees Norse and Anglo-Saxon women weaving side by side on a Yorkshire coastline, a shared history someone has spent centuries erasing. Her grandmother’s journals name the erasers: the Pattern Masters, respected professionals inside guilds and museums, guardians of a story about English purity. And they name the woman now standing in Jennifer’s shop, asking to see the collection.
Jennifer built her life on spreadsheets and skepticism. Now she carries a gift that can pull truth from thread, and Victoria Harlow of the Regional Textile Guild wants the fragments, the journals, and Jennifer’s silence. With the Yorkshire Textile Heritage Festival days away, Jennifer must choose between her grandmother’s lifetime of secrecy and one dangerous act of revelation.
The cloth remembers everything. The only question is whether Jennifer will let it speak.
