    "The Red Thread" is the story of six couples adopting babies from China. It is also the story of Maya, who runs the adoption agency after losing her baby daughter. And it is the story of six women in China who are forced to give up a baby girl they love. The Chinese legend of the red thread is that our children are connected to us by an invisible red thread. No matter how tangled or frayed it becomes, our child is waiting for us at the other end. Who is at the end of your red thread? Maya asks each couple. In The Red Thread, Ann Hood imagines that magical enduring connection. Hood is the author of several well-received novels, including The Knitting Circle, Somewhere Off the Coast of Maine, and The Properties of Water. Her essays and short stories have appeared in GOOD HOUSEKEEPING, THE NEW YORK TIMES, LADIES HOME JOURNAL, MORE, TIN HOUSE, PLOUGHSHARES, and THE PARIS REVIEW. Ann has won a “Best American Spiritual Writing Award,” the “Paul Bowles Prize for Short Fiction” and two Pushcart Prizes. Born in West Warwick, Hood now lives in Providence with her husband and their children. This program is part of the continuing RI Center for the Book at PPL's Fall READ New England Book & Author series.
