Carol Wilson-Mack’s “Patchwork: Conversation Between Generations” to be released as audiobook

Carol Wilson-Mack’s “Patchwork: Conversation Between Generations” (ReadersMagnet; 2020) tells the lives and stories of some God-centered black women - grandparents, sisters, daughters, wives, and aunts - in rural Bamberg, South Carolina that met together to make quilts and, in the process, share stories, words of wisdom, and encouragement from 1939 through 1959.
 
These women, led by the author’s paternal grandmother, created an atmosphere that allowed the women to help their families. They bonded over quilting, which provided them the opportunity to share their challenging stories and talk about the tough issues of the era.
 
“Patchwork: Conversation Between Generations” has been well-received by book reviewers and Amazon customers.
 
Writing for IndieReader, C.S. Holmes describes the book as “a charming book of authentic stories,” praising the book for its inspiring intergenerational dialog that tackled tough subjects, which include racism, rape by white men of authority, and bullying of mixed-race children.
 
Amazon customer Elnora Bradford rated “Patchwork: Conversation Between Generations” five stars, saying, “‘Patchwork’ impressed me as a loving, giving, healing tool. Its wisdom and insight are much needed in our somewhat fragmented current culture. I appreciated it showing us the impact of sharing in a circle. Each character who entered the cover-creating conversations heavy of heart, exited with a lightness of foot and a clearer direction.”
 
Carolyn Davis of US Review of Books focused on the message of the book – or the chief aim of their camaraderie – as best exhibited through the art of quilting. She wrote, “Exhortations to remain positive, caring, and supportive to one another for the sake of each woman, their families, and their communities intertwine with rebellion against the injustices and cruelties that invade their lives. The practice of quilting evokes the metaphor of stitching and holding together, applying to the women’s friendships, their connection to subsequent generations through the quilts, their work in their communities, and their faith in God.”
