In Allison Pitman's latest book, The Seamstress, you will meet two cousins, Renee and Laurette, growing up in the countryside of France. When both of their parents die, these girls are left to find their way as orphans without a home. Soon they meet Emile Gagnon, a young widower, who finds some space in his barn for Renee and Laurette to call home!
When Renee's sewing skills are noticed by a wealthy woman, she is quickly transported to a new life as a seamstress to the Queen in Paris. Laurette decides to stay in the countryside, so she can chase after a handsome young man, who unfortunately is following down a dangerous path!
The year is 1788 in France and the desperation and hunger of the people will bring a lot of danger and violence to all. Hang on until the final page to see what changes will come to Renee and Laurette's lives!
