Publisher's summary

Sometimes the answers we are looking for are hidden in our own stories.

The night before the dance performance that could determine Gracie Wilder’s career, her father unexpectedly dies, leaving behind a curious gift with ties to a myth told to her as a child. Desperate to understand her father’s unspoken words, she puts her greatest dream on the line for an opportunity to remember the childhood she tried so hard to forget.

A few chance encounters with Beau Griffin, a bighearted building contractor, pull Gracie closer to her past. Griffin is no stranger to grief. Most recently, he has been held responsible for the demise of a Chicago building that harbors the cornerstones of his own history. In a moment of faith or folly, the unlikely pair follow the origin of Gracie’s childhood memories to Old Montreal. There, they discover family secrets that will challenge the narratives that have defined Gracie’s life. And Griffin will have to confront his own personal myths if he is to build room for Gracie in his future. Together, they must heal their history backward in order to move forward.

Poignant and uplifting, Threads of Us explores the self-discovery that comes to us not despite our hardships but because of them and the mysterious connections that help us recreate ourselves.
