About the book:
The Moses Quilt is a contemporary novel that
bridges racial and generational divides. With a realistic and compassionate
look into a twenty-first-century dilemma, multiple award-winning author Kathi
Macias introduces readers to a confused and apprehensive young woman, Mazie
Hartford. Facing major decisions about the love of her life and her future, she
must also wrestle with a nagging question about her family's past. She finds
the answer to her questions in a most unexpected way—her great-grandmother's
Moses quilt. As her great-grandmother begins to explain how each patch
represents a story of courage and freedom, Mazie must decide if she has the
courage and freedom to overcome her own personal fears and prejudices.
My Thoughts:
I love how the author was able to weave a succinct autobiography of Harriet Tubman into a contemporary novel through the story telling device of the main character's grandmother. The Moses Quilt combines history with a love story and a family secret. I am looking forward to the next book in the Quilt series.
