A Thread Unbroken

Written by Kay Bratt

Narrated by Nancy Wu

Chai and Josi share a bond that transcends ordinary friendship. While Chai has always been Josi’s protector—ever since they were toddlers, growing up together in a small Chinese village—she finds herself helpless when they are both abducted from their families and sold to faraway strangers. In their new home, with the family of the fisherman who bought them, their old lives are torn away piece by piece. But Chai knows she must stay strong if they’re to have any chance of escaping.

That same tenacious hope guides Chai’s father, Jun, who fights to find the girls and bring them home, despite seemingly insurmountable odds and a corrupt legal system. The days since the girls were taken soon stretch to weeks and months, but Chai’s spirit remains unbroken and Jun’s resolve unwavering.

An inspiring story of remarkable courage and indefatigable hope, A Thread Unbroken is about the invisible ties that hold people together, even when everything around them is falling apart.

Reviews for A Thread Unbroken

[creighley_1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Chai and Josi have been friends all their,short lives. Josi has a limp and Chai has always been very protective of her. However, there isn't much Chai can do to protect them when they are kidnapped and Chai is sold to become a bride of a mean-spirited, bully-Bo. The story is a plausible one, but the writer fails to bring any depth to the story or characters.
