A Weave of Old and New can be read by itself, but is also the much-requested sequel to "A Home on Wilder Shores." In 1753, the Welsh sisters Ardath and Gwyn return to their Philadelphia home from their adventures on the Great Wagon Road and the North Carolina frontier. They are greeted by a yellow fever epidemic, the looming French & Indian War, and other physical and personal challenges. Once again, the sisters and their loved ones must display extraordinary talent and courage. They weave new lives with threads drawn from their past in the Old World and their personal bonds and accomplishments in the New World.
