-From the back cover-
Eliza Spalding Warren was just a child when she was taken hostage by the Cayuse Indians during the massacre in 1847. Now a mother of two, Eliza faces a new kind of dislocation; her impulsive husband wants to make a new start in another territory, which will mean leaving her beloved home and her mother's grave – returning to the land of her captivity.
Haunted by memories and hounded by struggle, Eliza longs to know how her mother dealt with the trauma of their ordeal. As she searches the pages of her mother's diary, Eliza is stunned to find that her own recollections tell only part of the story. Based on true events, The Memory Weaver is New York Times bestselling author Jane Kirkpatrick's latest literary journey into the past, where threads of western landscapes, family, and faith weave a tapestry of hope inside every pioneering woman's heart. Get swept up in this emotional story of the memories that entangle us and the healing that awaits us when we barely unravel the threads of the past.
Life and love are not always easy...
I have to admit that in the past I've had a hard time getting into this author's stories. But The Memory Weaver was entirely different. I only had it a few days and the cover kept calling, calling to me. I started to read it and could hardly put it down until I was done. |
This Book received a 5 Bark rating.

I first picked out The Memory Weaver because of the storyline. Having lived in Idaho for awhile I knew about the Lapwai Mission so I jumped at the chance to read a book about the people who lived there for a time. I was totally impressed, this book isn't just a shallow historical romance but is rather a deep look into the lives of two very real and quite extraordinary women.
I was captivated by the stories of the two Eliza Spaldings. The one who loved her work as a missionary teacher, frustrated with the whims of a missionary board thousands of miles away, who simply wants her traumatized daughter to find peace and happiness again. The other a girl, traumatized by what she experienced as a child, trying to control those around her, and trapped in unhappiness by memories that may not be completely accurate.
Jane Kirkpatrick has woven an emotional and thought-provoking story that will linger long in the reader's mind. A story that is steeped in history but every woman, no matter their age, can relate to. The Memory Weaver is a truly moving book that all lovers of historical fiction should read.
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives The Memory Weaver by Jane Kirkpatrick a 5 Bark rating.
