Dropped Threads 2: More of What We Aren't Told
The idea for Dropped Threads: What We Aren't Told came up between Carol Shields and longtime friend Marjorie Anderson over lunch. It appeared that after decades of feminism, the “women's network” still wasn't able to prevent women being caught off-guard by life.

Had this book on my shelf for years. Started to read more of it when I just had my son. It is a collection of short stories for women about women.

I recommend this.
Thirty-five stories as a follow-up to book 1! I was so happy when this volume came out and that so many of the women authors I had been reading had stories there. The theme - life's defining moments of surprise and silence.
So good to have these collections to return to often.

inspirational and eye opening
Loved everyone of the Dropped Threads
This month's book club pick. I need to get started on it.
First book of compilations was better than this sequel (but did not appear in goodreads' list of books) : DROPPED THREADS - What We Aren't Told: Carol Shiels, Marjorie Anderson et all.
An amazing and candid look into the thoughts and lives of women and their lived experiences!
A bit depressing for me to read..
