Synopsis
Fiction. Jewish Studies. Leba Wine's STITCHES IN TIME is based on stories of five generations of mothers in Wine's Jewish family, written as the biography of a family quilt. Wine explains: "My head was full of tales told to me by my grandmother. I had my mother's diaries full of stories. Best of all, I had the quilt made by my grandmother and great-grandmother. The imagery sewn on it would come to represent the history of hope and hardships that accompanied my ancestors to this land."

About the Author
Leba Wine changed her name from Liebe in grade school, because her first-grade teacher kept mispronouncing it. A graduate of Smith College (Class of '53), she became a lawyer and married state senator David Wine from Arizona. They had four children. The quilt traveled to her daughter, Katie and now resides in the American Folk Art Museum in New York City. Leba Wine currently lives on the Central California Coast.
Review
Few people alive today have first-hand memories of the Hungarian/Polish pogroms before World War II and the Holocaust. "Stitches in Time" is Leba Wine's fascinating novel that begins with her ancestress marrying a handsome (secretly Jewish) Hussar in the 1870's. Their daughter, a young girl of 12, flees alone the increasingly oppressive Eastern Europe to Pennsylvania. She is followed by her mother and brothers. Leba's maternal ancestors-her grandmother, great grandmother and her mother-strong women all, in oral and written tradition, enabled Leba to write the stories down, embellished by her imagination and memories of her childhood. Deeply written and richly woven, like the magic quilt the elder mothers created in the new life, "Stitches in Time" is a masterpiece: essential reading for those concerned about diaspora, about the nascense of fascism and elitism, about making the most of changing life when the old life became too dangerous to endure. -Kate Hitt, Poet and Author
