Connecting Threads: Five Siblings Lost and Found (2024)

Connecting Threads is a powerful story of identity, belonging, and the resilience of the human spirit. All five siblings were separated by foster care and closed adoptions. One sibling’s life and search for first family, belonging, and culture, one thread at a time. This is a graphic memoir about siblings of Indigenous and European-American heritage who grew up apart. They were fostered and adopted into four stranger families. This story illustrates their journey to find each other and their first family.
