Dr. Jennette Reid Tandy (1889 - 1968) of Carrollton, Kentucky, and Vevay, Indiana, was an unusual person, by her education, her observation of culture, both that of her home area circa 1930-1940's and of Hopi Indians in the American Southwest, and her artistic skill in portraying aspects of those cultures in a complex weaving process using cotton, six-strand floss. She was said to be one of the few in the United States to do portrait weaving. This book is both a celebration of Jennette Tands art and an enjoyable biographical image of the woman herself.

Autorenporträt
After her debut with The Day I Met Hugh Grant, Elisabeth Jones is back on the literary scene with her second novel Gold Beach. A lover of Britain and its history, she never imagined that she'd end up marrying a World War II soldier's son. Her marriage not only allowed her to travel to the locations where this story takes place, but also to become part of the family of a veteran of the Normandy Landings. The stories first-handedly experienced by her second parents Elwyn and Elisabeth have been the inspiration behind the creation of this novel where fiction and non-fiction are combined in this emotional story.
