THE SCARLET THREAD is a true story of a young woman tangled in the scarlet thread of love and destiny. She was fated to pay a high price for that love when her child and lover were torn from her arms. A narcissistic mother, the prejudice of her true love's father, as well as the shady adoption system of the 1960s, were all instrumental in separating the three of them.Years later, while searching for her child, who was lost in the sealed paperwork of adoption, her true love returns after a forty-year sabbatical, setting her on an uncharted, late-in-life journey.VillaPriscilla: "Her open honesty about the events in her life are profoundly moving. A double romance woven together with a hilarious sense of humor has formed the engaging fabric of one woman's life. Both heart wrenching-and-warming it is in the end a heartfelt read. I loved it." Jennifer M. Doelman: "Yvonne’s story is candid, humorous at some moments and horrifying at others. It’s not just a story for people affected by adoption in one way or another. Her story is about being human...Yvonne’s style doesn’t put you in the front row, she brings you right up on stage to live her story with her. At times I winced. I cried. I laughed. I got mad. I hugged the book wishing I could hug her. Reading The Scarlet Thread is not a spectator sport!"Robyn Gray: "Yvonne, you are a very brave soul and I truly believe this was the right choice for you. Very well done. Bravo....this is a story that NEEDS to be told.
