Holding Silk is a story about the power of love, the need for hope, and the necessity of having faith in other people, in yourself, and even in God. A multi-racial story, this book tells the narrative of a relationship between two women that survives more than 70 years and how sometimes friendship is stronger than family bonds. When Eva "Silk" Worth takes her best friend's four-year-old daughter into her home for a few months, neither Silk nor the confused and vulnerable little girl know that those few weeks will create a bond between them that can never be broken-not by time, marriage, birth, fire, or the difference in the color of their skin. Silk provides Laura with the only solid foundation she knows. Throughout seven decades, Laura depends on her beautiful "Auntie Silk" to help her survive despair and accept joy. And the other woman clings to that love to fill a void in her own life-even when it hurts others. Eventually, they are faced with Silk's mortality, yet neither one is willing to let go of the other...until Silk's guardian angel intervenes and draws Laura into a tug of war.
