Title: The hidden thread
Description: London, 1760. When Anna Butterfield's mother dies, she's sent to live with her uncle, a silk merchant in London, to make a good match and provide for her father and sister. There, she meets Henri, a French immigrant and apprentice hoping to become a master weaver. But Henri, born into a lower class, becomes embroiled in the silk riots that break out as weavers protest for a fair wage. With her family's security at stake-- and her reputation on the line-- will Anna be able to pursue her dreams?
