Award-Winning Writer Publishes Historical Novel

Online, October 27, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Local author P.L. Reid published the highly anticipated historical novel The Weaver's Loom in October 2010. The Weaver's Loom is a story about the special bond between Gypsies and Jews, of which the Gypsies, and a good many Jews, are keenly aware. Reid grew up on Pigeon Hill, a community of Hungarian and Romanian immigrants in Aurora, Illinois, where she uncovered her own Hungarian Jewish heritage - a secret kept hidden for three generations.

A story about forgiveness, The Weaver's Loom explores the struggles of two beautiful cultures, bound together by the great human tragedy, the Holocaust. This is no political novel. It is an illumination of an enduring friendship between two unlikely women with an indomitable will to live. "This is material everyone should know," proclaims best-selling author, Joan Afman.

P.L. Reid worked as a freelance editor and writer for 25 years, most-recently as Managing Editor for Arts Beat Magazine. In September 2005, Reid was awarded a scholarship by Tony-nominated playwright, screen writer, actor and producer Samm Art Williams. P.L. Reid was also an Assistant Editor at MidWeek Magazine in Kaneohe, Hawaii and wrote a weekly column for Channel 2 in Honolulu.
