Tapestry is the third book in the Werner Family Saga. It gives a vivid picture of the turbulent life in New York City during prohibition, the Great Depression, and World War II. Paul Werner is still the rock of the family—the one everyone turns to for council and comfort—yet trapped in a loveless marriage without children—he can't help but feel love has passed him by. Finding comfort in several affairs, Paul watches his and Anna's daughter grow up from a distance. Without going into detail about the atrocities of the war, the author relates a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at Hitler's violent rise to power when Paul visits his cousin, Joachim, in Germany. Following the lives of these fascinating characters—Hennie and Dan Roth, Alfie, and Emily De Rivera—we watch their children, Freddy, Meg, and Leah, grow up and have their own children. Finally, separated from family by conflict overseas and at home, Paul finds a friend in Ilse who survives the war. Tapestry is a heartwarming tale of losing everything and finding love again. ( )
