Tapestry

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful book!
Review: Tapestry is the third book that Belva Plain wrote with the same main characters. Her first book in this series of three is Evergreen followed by Golden Cup and then came Tapestry. You will love Tapestry. I did. I am going to get Evergreen and Golden Cup even though the reading will be out of order.
