      BOOK 1 – April 2018
      The Last Runaway, by Tracy Chevalier

      To start us off, we are going to dive deep into the 1850s slave trade in the United States by reading Tracy Chevalier’s The Last Runaway.

      The main character, Honor Bright, has recently arrived from Dorset to Ohio, to keep her sister company. she ends up living in a milliner’s shop before she joins a Quaker family where quilting is part of every day life.

      The book is available from all good book stores, as well as Amazon, Goodreads and Audible (for audio).

      Please try to finish the book during April as I’ll select a new book for May.

      I read this book a few years ago and it’s really good. Will have to re-visit it. Absolutely loved that she called the quilts “comforts”.
