Follow the widowed Margaret Ralston Kennedy (a relative of the author) in this second book of the Trail of Thread series, as she travels with eight of her thirteen children from Ohio to the Territory of Kansas in 1855. Thousands of American headed west in the decade before the Civil War, but those who settled in Kansas suffered through frequent clashes between pro-slavery and free-state fractions that gripped the territory.

Would you listen to Thimble of Soil again? Why?
I would listen to it again. So many interesting historical facts and so much of the actual daily lives of that time.
Any additional comments?
Linda Hubalek has a very gentle, homespun style of writing. I felt I was sitting next to her. Pam Dougherty does a marvelous job with the narration. Her voice is quite sincere and she conveys the story very, very well.

In My Stroke of Insight, Taylor shares her unique perspective on the brain and its capacity for recovery, and the sense of omniscient understanding she gained from this unusual and inspiring voyage out of the abyss of a wounded brain. It would take eight years for Taylor to heal completely. Because of her knowledge of how the brain works, her respect for the cells composing her human form, and most of all an amazing mother, Taylor completely repaired her mind and recalibrated her understanding of the world.
