Kirkus Reviews: “Patchwork” by Carol Wilson-Mack, a “heartwarming tale” bristling with “smart, real-world tone”

“Patchwork: Conversation Between Generations” by Carol Wilson-Mack has received a new positive review, this time from Kirkus Reviews.
 
The book’s themes of community and family serve as the focal point for Kirkus’ review. These elements are bolstered by the collective Christian faith of the women who were members of the informal social group organized and led by the author’s grandmothers. “The consolations they offer the people who come to them are firmly planted in their collective Christian faith,” said the review about the two women.
 
Anyone who has read “Patchwork” will know the events in the book place between 1939 and 1959 in rural South Carolina and the participants in the story were all black women, each of them sharing the challenges they and their families faced. Wrote Kirkus Review, “As each chapter delivers a new dilemma and a fresh dramatic vignette, revealing an additional aspect of small-town Southern life, readers are given a surprisingly shrewd and wide-ranging view of a variety of social issues, from coping with the crudities of race relations to raising strong-willed grandchildren.
 
“These women don’t live in a rose-colored world; their friendship and faith help them get through some believably rendered tough times.”
