Soonie's great-grandma was just seven years old when she wassold to a big plantation without her ma and pa, and with only somefabric and needles to call her own. She pieced together brightpatches with names like North Star and Crossroads, patches withsecret meanings made into quilts called Show Ways -- maps forslaves to follow to freedom. When she grew up and had a littlegirl, she passed on this knowledge. And generations later, Soonie-- who was born free -- taught her own daughter how to sewbeautiful quilts to be sold at market and how to read.

Beautifullyrendered in Hudson Talbott's luminous art, this moving, lyricalaccount pays tribute to women whose strength and knowledgeilluminate their daughters' lives.
