They said love could survive anything, until silence joined them for dinner. Now, whispers fill the room where laughter once lived, and a single glance holds more than words ever could. Some guests arrive uninvited. Some never leave.

Surviving the fallout was just the beginning. Forced to pick up the frayed ends of their lives, they must now weave a new truth or be destroyed by the threads of the past.

There are threads that unite us. Others subtly disintegrate us. Siphiwe Florence Nzimande stitched love into the fabric of her home throughout her existence. A loyal wife. A gentle, accessible mother. A mother who traded boardroom sessions for goodnight kisses and lullabies for books of accounts. But under the golden sheen of the family's merriment lies the dull pang. A pang that was born from lost moments, sacrifices, and a marriage that is no longer home. She had her baby at fifteen. Too young to have even remembered her own childhood, but fiercely intent on making her children's something lovely. Through pain and optimism, she sewed together a life of purpose, pouring herself into her four lovely children: Minenhle, Lwazi, Thandiwe, and Sipho. All of them masterpieces. All of them reasons to cling. But the silken thread that links her to Sean, the love of her youth and the father of her children, is unraveling. And when the tapestry of all she has stitched so carefully begins to fray at the edges, Siphiwe has a choice to make. Will she continue to patch up the past, or will she find the strength to unravel the whole and begin again? Soul-deep, vulnerable, and hopelessly honest, Unravelled Threads is a book about motherhood, memory, and the quiet resilience it requires to find yourself again in the life you have constructed for all but yourself. It is a book about the love that rescues us and the love we have to learn to rescue for ourselves.
