Threads We Choose

By Cora Layne

Rebecca has never had to choose her own life. Josie has nothing left to inherit.
When sixteen-year-old Josie Brooks loses both parents in a single terrible night, she's sent to live with grandparents, on a farm at the edge of an Amish community in rural Indiana. She isn't looking for anything except a way to get through the days.
Then an Amish girl her own age starts showing up every Tuesday morning with a crate of eggs - and asking the kind of questions nobody else has thought to ask. Rebecca Weaver has grown up certain of everything: her family, her faith, the shape her whole life is supposed to take. She's never had a reason to wonder whether she actually wants it - until Josie's friendship holds up a mirror she can't quite look away from.

Over the course of a year - through canning jars and quilting frames, a disastrous first milking lesson, a wedding that draws an entire community together, and a mistake that costs them both more than either expects - two girls from two entirely different worlds discover the same hard, hopeful truth: that the people who love us best are often the ones who teach us to choose, rather than simply inherit, the lives we're meant to live.

A quiet, tender coming-of-age story about grief, faith, friendship, and the courage it takes to choose your own life - twice over.
Threads We Choose is a story about grief and healing, faith and doubt, and the friendships that help us find our way home - wherever home turns out to be.
