ALBANY, New York, March 14, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- "Threads - An American Tapestry" by three time novelist, Gloria Waldron Hukle, is the poignant story of an affluent provincial New York woman of mixed blood who struggles as a slave owner to understand the Christian faith she dearly embraces, yet one that also seemingly justifies the harsh, cruel laws of slavery in early l8th century America.

Margaret Vandenberg, the tall plain-featured offspring of an immigrant Dutchman and his Native American wife stands at the threshold. In a world controlled by powerful men, Margaret is determined to hold fast to her convictions and her dignity - defying a destiny that can not be denied. She will be both loved and hated for reasons that haven't changed among humankind since time began.

Hukle, a dogged researcher, scopes out and cleverly brings to life a mix of fact and fiction with characters and historical data long left behind within the frayed, faded pages of the American history books.
