The debut novel from M. E. Auman
Sophie O’Toole has always been more interested in weaving tapestries than traveling through them. But now she’s ready to escape her small town in Western New York to study weaving at one of England’s most prestigious colleges. At East Lawn, she will learn the secrets of transforming thread into the tapestries everyone uses for transportation and recreation.
But weaving is easy compared to navigating campus life and a new country with her roommates — and their incredibly attractive older brothers. And those aren’t the only challenges in store for Sophie, as she becomes entangled in the mystery surrounding the death of Britain’s most beloved tapestry designer, Sabrina Maxwell.
When Sophie discovers the design for Sabrina’s final, unwoven tapestry, it could be the clue that’s been missing all this time. But will weaving the tapestry unravel the mystery behind Sabrina’s death? Or will the months of work — and the relationships Sophie sacrifices in the process — lead to nothing more than a tangled mess?
