Stitching Her Way to Survival

In the early 1990s, Wren Sullivan lost her husband and father-in-law in an accident, leaving her with a mother-in-law and young children. People advised her to remarry, tried to seize her land, or ruin her reputation. She farmed and embroidered, working from the local Supply and Marketing Cooperative to the county embroidery factory to survive. She resisted those who tried to tear her family apart. In the end, she kept her children, mother-in-law, and home safe.
