Charles Williams, executive director of the Will Rogers Medallion Committee, calls The Memory Weaver “one of the most powerful books I have ever had the pleasure of reading.

Based on true events, The Memory Weaver is New York Times bestselling author Jane Kirkpatrick’s literary journey into the past, where threads of Western landscapes, family, and faith weave a tapestry of hope inside every pioneering woman’s heart. Eliza Spalding Warren was just a child when she was taken hostage by the Cayuse Indians during a massacre in 1847. Now the young mother of two children, Eliza faces a different kind of dislocation; her impulsive husband wants them to make a new start in another territory, which will mean leaving her beloved home and her mother’s grave—and returning to the land of her captivity. Can she lay the dark past to rest and move on? Or will her childhood memories always hold her hostage?
