What an inspiring, heart-breaking, and heart-strengthening book this is! JoAnne Taylor's Knit Together is also a page-turner, as we follow the author’s attempts to locate and learn to know the sister from whom she was separated at the age of two. About the book, Tilden Edwards has said, “JoAnne Taylor has given us a heartwarming and illuminating story of her remarkable life. I have learned much from her about the powerful effects of beginning life in an orphanage, losing contact with a sister left behind there, and growing up as an adopted child in an earlier era of strict discipline and low regard for women. She has sensitized me to the orphan’s fear of abandonment. At the same time I am heartened by the amazing rediscovery of her sister late in life, their incredible closeness for seven years, and the strong blending together of their families that has survived the sad early loss of her sister to cancer. I am also moved by the grace of her realization that she has been loved by God from the beginning, a realization putting to rest her doubts caused by traumas early in life.
JoAnne Taylor has been a spiritual director for twenty-six years. She is a graduate of the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation and has a masters degree in Religious Studies from Hartford Seminary. Her first book was Innocent Wisdom: Children as Spiritual Guides. She lives in Bloomfield, Connecticut with her husband of sixty years. They have five children and eleven grandchildren.
