A bond of love unites a family throughout generations in
this companion to the beloved and bestselling classic The
Keeping Quilt. As a young Russian Jewish girl in
the early 1900s, Anna and her family lived in fear of the
Czar’s soldiers. The family lived a hard life and had few
possessions—their treasure was a beautiful china tea set. A
wedding gift to Anna’s parents, the tea set came with a wish
that “Anyone who drinks from this will have blessings from
God. They will never know a day of hunger. Their lives will
always have flavor. They will know love and joy and they
will never be poor.”
When Anna’s family leaves
Russia for America, they bring the tea set and its
blessings. A source of heritage and security, the tea set
helps Anna’s family make friends and find better lives in
America. A cup from the tea set—The Blessing
Cup—became an anchor of family history, and it remains a
symbol of lasting love more than a century later.
This tender tribute to the importance of loving lineage
is a prequel and companion to the perennial bestseller
The Keeping Quilt and is told and illustrated with
authenticity and tremendous heart.
