The Unraveling Thread by Priscilla Cogan

• This story is the first time that the relatively common, but severely under-diagnosed chromosomal disorder, Velo-Cardio-Facial Syndrome, has ever appeared in fiction.

• As typical of Dr. Cogan’s previous novels, the clash of the Anglo and Native American cultures casts a different light on the issues facing many American families.

• The story of a career woman, caught in the sandwich generation, taking care of both her parent and her children, is one that will resonate with many readers, as will the story of a family overwhelmed with medical problems. It is the kind of page-turning novel which will tug on the reader’ s heart.

“As a reader I loved the clever plot; as a writer I reveled in the music of the words (I walk in soft moccasins. I know where I put my feet.); as a Christian, I could identify with each character's battle for faith - in themselves and in something beyond themselves. Best of all, Priscilla Cogan wraps the story around life's most important truth: it’s all about love.”

Sue Harrison,  author of Mother Earth Father Sky

I read with great pleasure The Unraveling Thread. Once started I had trouble putting it down and even now I wonder what is happening in the McWinnie household and I want to hear more of Agatha’s story. This book crackles with the familiar challenges of women’s lives; their complexity and poignancy. Powerful word images evoke characters replete with humor, courage and affection. And Agatha carries the transforming archetype of the wise woman, the mature Persephone, that is so desperately needed by women today.”

Jennifer Barker,  author of The Goddess Within

The Unraveling Thread is the heartwarming story of independent, loveable, and generous characters whose individual threads weave a rich family tapestry.

Written almost totally in dialog, the story reads like the script for an HBO series. In her many novels Priscilla Cogan has expertly woven Native American beliefs into modern western culture with understanding and compassion, a job for which she is justly qualified-PhD clinical psychologist and pipe carrier-someone who knows fully the way of the pipe.

Evelyn Wolfson,  author of From the Earth to Beyond the Sky
