註釋
Margie Carmichael's first story collection presents ordinary women with extraordinary skills, gifts, and strengths. They live next door or far away, shadowed by fear or absence of recognition. Age, race, and culture come together in the timeless fabric of the Quilt, with craft, patience, and faith connecting the women through the threads of their diversity. ?Anna? tells of life after residential school; ?Irini? reflects on her life in war-torn Afghanistan. In ?Tansie, ? two adults survive childhood abandonment. Hilarious ?Annie Day? makes peace with her maleness and lives as female; and ?Flora? offers insight into the lighter side of love, marriage, and death. Featuring illustrations by Dale McNevin, the book is a collaboration that began with an original painting and companion poem first published in the Maritime Centre of Excellence for Women's Health 2000 Calendar.
