Review
“Kim Vogel Sawyer is an amazing storyteller who crafts each of her stories with page-turning excitement and rich character development. I’ve known Kim for many years and can honestly say that her books are some of the most satisfying and delightful I’ve read. I feel confident my readers will enjoy her novels immensely.” —Tracie Peterson, best-selling author of more than one hundred fiction titles, including the Golden Gate Secrets series “Kim Vogel Sawyer wove a story as strong and beautiful as the finest silk. Her characters; the background of the Atlanta Exposition; and the threads of racism, social classes, and the threat of modern inventions on old industries create a cloth of great beauty found in a riveting, fast-moving story. It has Sawyer’s trademark gentle heart, wisdom, and hope. And a happily-ever-after that will leave me smiling for a long time. Rarely have I been drawn into a book the way A Silken Thread drew me.” —Mary Connealy, author of The Reluctant Warrior “A Silken Thread will carry readers back to the 1895 Atlanta Exposition with a wonderful story that blends romance, family drama, and heart-tugging secrets, all while exploring the power of God’s grace to overcome prejudice and social-class differences. I was captivated by the intriguing characters and cheering for them to find a path forward through their struggles. Kim Vogel Sawyer’s novels always touch the heart, and I’m sure this one will be enjoyed by her faithful readers and those who are just discovering her writing.” —Carrie Turansky, award-winning author of Across the Blue and Shine Like the Dawn “Kim Vogel Sawyer is not afraid to address the challenging subjects of racial and class conflict, and she weaves these themes with a beautiful tale of romance and redemption in A Silken Thread.” —Hannah Alexander, author of the Hallowed Halls series “Kim Vogel Sawyer has done it again—captured my heart and attention in this newest book, A Silken Thread. Because the story is so beautifully written and told with such historical accuracy, I could not flip the pages fast enough. Laurel and Willie are beloved characters. Well-written characters contribute to the story’s believability, and the spiritual thread woven throughout this wonderful novel fed my reader’s soul. A Silken Thread is another winner!” —Sharlene MacLaren, award-winning author of the Forever Freedom series and the Tennessee Dreams series “Kim Vogel Sawyer’s A Silken Thread is set during the Atlanta Cotton Exposition of 1895. Middle-class Laurel Millard is hired as a silk weaver at the expo, where she hopes to make money and meet the man of her dreams. But Laurel’s expectations get turned around when she witnesses racism firsthand. This book captured my heart since I grew up in Georgia and lived in Atlanta for several years. The story, set well over one hundred years ago, reflects today’s society in a way that shows the importance of real family love and listening to God’s Word. We all can take a lesson from that. Truly an exquisite, well-researched, well-written story that is a testament to the silken thread that connects God to His people. What a treat!” —Lenora Worth, author of Her Amish Child

A Silken Thread is a historical fiction that takes place in 1895 in Atlanta during the International Cotton Exposition. Eighteen year old Laurel Miller has been told by her older siblings that she must stay home and be responsible for taking care of their mother in her old age. But Laurel wants something more and gets a job at the Exposition as a silk weaver to hopefully meet a wealthy man so that she can have a family and take care of her mother too. Langdon Rochester has been told by his father that he must settle down and get married or else he will loose his inheritance. He goes to the Exposition to "work" at his father's booth and try to find a lady to marry that will please his mother but still allow him to live his life the way he wants to.Willie Sharp takes a job as a security guard at the Exposition in order to pay for his father to go to a hospital to recover from a stroke. His best friend is a black man named Quincy who also gets a job at the Exposition. Quincy and Willie have been best friends their whole lives and never considered the differences in their races until the Exposition. The Civil War had taken place around 30 years before, and tensions were still running high. Trouble comes to the Women's Building at the Exposition and Willie and Quincy have to deal with issues in their friendship they've never had to before.One of the reasons that I love Kim Vogel Sawyer's books so much is because you can tell when reading her books that she puts a lot of time and effort into her research to make it authentic. When you are reading her books, you will feel as though you are transported back in time and a part of the story you are reading. The characters are amazing. Even the minor characters are real and believable and are an important part of the story. The challenges and struggles they face are things that we can relate to. In A Silken Thread, Ms. Sawyer tackles the difficult topic of racism, and it is done very well ,with grace and dignity. There is a romantic element to the story that I loved and appreciate that Kim Vogel Sawyer's books are not overly romantic. You do not have to worry about any inappropriate content. As always Ms. Sawyer weaves elements of faith throughout the book and we learn so much about trusting in God, seeking His will, the importance of doing the right thing even when it is hard, and that anything, even a new suit bought for the wrong reason, can bring about good in someone's life.Even though I loved the main characters in this book, one of my favorite characters was Mr. Rochester, Langdon's father. He is a very wealthy man but he wants his son to work hard and tries to teach him the importance of good character. Willie is just a factory worker but he knows him and trusts him and stands up for him even when others including his own son gave reason to doubt him.He has good reason to be very angry with his son but instead forgives and tells him he is proud of the good thing he has done. It reminded me of the love our Heavenly Father has for us.A Silken Thread taught me many things I didn't know or really think about during this time in history. I highly recommend this book and others by Kim Vogel Sawyer.Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy of this book for the purpose of writing a fair and honest review. I received no other compensation and all opinions are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance to the FTC regulations.
With topical themes such as race relations and disparate social classes, A Silken Thread by Kim Vogel Sawyer is a thought-provoking historical Christian novel.Eighteen year old Laurel Millard is the youngest of seven children and still lives with her widowed mother. Having been informed by her older siblings it is her duty to care for their mother in her dotage, Laurel is hoping to find a wealthy man who will care for both her and her mama. The Atlanta Cotton Exposition is the perfect place to meet someone new, so she is thrilled when she is hired to weave silk. She unexpectedly finds friendship with her workmates but even more surprisingly, Laurel catches the eye of Langdon Rochester, the son of a wealthy factory owner. She also meets security guard Willie Sharp whose lifelong friendship with Quincy Tate hits a difficult patch when faced with other people’s prejudice. Laurel’s experiences with these very different people are heartwarming and eye-opening, but she still remains a little naive. Will Laurel realize the truth before making a decision she might come to regret?Laurel is extremely sheltered and she tends to take people at face value. She quickly becomes enamored by Langdon whose smooth manners hide his true nature. Laurel is a bit troubled by some of the things he does and says, but she is easily swayed by his explanations. She plans to seek advice from Willie but everyone is quickly sidetracked when a legal issue arises.Willie is an upstanding young man who is devoted to his father. He needs to raise money for medical treatment for his dad who recently suffered a stroke, so he takes a leave of absence from the Rochester factory to work as a security guard at the Exposition. He is delighted when Quincy is hired to work as a groundskeeper, but their friendship is threatened when Willie fails to speak up on Quincy’s behalf.Quincy is enthralled by Booker T. Washington’s speech at the opening of the Exposition. His parents are former slaves and their family struggles to make ends meet. Quincy is (rightfully) angered by the racial prejudice he experiences and he is struggling to find a way to make people see him, not his skin color.Langdon is an entitled man who has no respect for those he considers beneath him. He enjoys the privileges afforded to him because of his father’s wealth, but Langdon has no desire to actually work. His search for a wife has nothing to do with love and he is looking for a woman whom he can easily manipulate into obeying his demands. Langdon is exceedingly sly but will Laurel see through his surface charm before it is too late?Set in 1895, A Silken Thread is a finely crafted novel that with a socially relevant storyline that is truly timeless. Laurel is a lovely young woman but it is rather frustrating to see how gullible and trusting she is. Langdon is completely reprehensible and he finally does the right thing, but it is hard to believe he has truly changed. Willie is deeply principled with a strong faith and a steady moral compass. Quincy’s struggles with racial prejudice are heartbreaking and unfortunately highlights the fact that this is a battle that has yet to be won. Kim Vogel Sawyer’s newest release features a storyline that is informative, timely and inspiring.I received a complimentary copy for review.
