A beautiful
scarf, passed down through the generations, connects two women who learn
that the weight of the world is made bearable by the love we give
away....
September 1911. On Ellis Island in New York Harbor, nurse Clara Wood cannot face returning to Manhattan, where the man she loved fell to his death in the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. Then, while caring for a fevered immigrant whose own loss mirrors hers, she becomes intrigued by a name embroidered onto the scarf he carries…and finds herself caught in a dilemma that compels her to confront the truth about the assumptions she’s made. Will what she learns devastate her or free her?
September 2011. On Manhattan’s Upper West Side, widow Taryn Michaels has convinced herself that she is living fully, working in a charming specialty fabric store and raising her daughter alone. Then a long-lost photograph appears in a national magazine, and she is forced to relive the terrible day her husband died in the collapse of the World Trade Towers…the same day a stranger reached out and saved her. Will a chance reconnection and a century-old scarf open Taryn’s eyes to the larger forces at work in her life?

About the Author - I was born and raised in San Diego, California, and am the second of
three daughters. My first writings are a laughable collection of oddly
worded poems and predictable stories I wrote when I was eight. Currently, my husband is an associate pastor at a church in San Diego,
and a chaplain in the Air Force Reserves. When I’m not working on a new
novel, I enjoy teaching workshops on writing and dream-following, as
well as spending time with my family, listening to or making music,
reading great books, and traveling.

I've put this on my TRL. This sounds like a wonderful read. I can't enter the giveaway because I don't have the social media required but I am very drawn to the story.
