- Summary
- "Continuing in the tradition of the beloved first volume, Dropped Threads 2: More of What We Aren't Told taps into women's compelling need to share their personal reflections on life's defining moments of surprise and silence. These stories celebrate the female experience with an honesty and intimacy that will take your breath away. Readers will explore what may be unfamiliar terrain, and will come away with the powerful knowledge of what it must be like to step into another woman's shoes. "The fact is," writes Adrienne Clarkson in the foreword, "none of us knows anything, and it is what happens to us in life that teaches us everything." Carol Shields and Marjorie Anderson, with the assistance of Carol's daughter Catherine, have gathered an astounding collection of fresh, beautifully crafted and original pieces by well-known Canadians, including Jane Urquhart, Susan Swan, Shelagh Rogers, Michele Landsberg, Elizabeth Hay, Billie Livingston, Sandra Martin and Flora MacDonald. As with the first book, this volume also includes contributions from new writers, women whose names you may not recognize but whose stories will resonate, move and inspire. Book jacket."--Jacket.
