Description: Told in language at once spare and lyrical, Unravelling is the story of Aimee Slater, who has always longed for a life beyond the small New Hampshire farm her family owns.

When, against her mother's wishes, she goes off at the age of 15 to work in the City of Spindles - the factory town of Lowell, Massachusetts - she opens a rift between herself and her mother that feels, in her own words, like "an impossible distance." How Aimee ultimately creates a life for herself and bridges that distance makes for a moving story about love, loss, and the power of redemption.
