Threads That Held Me Together

Threads That Held Me Together is a powerful and deeply personal memoir of resilience, family, and quiet determination.

Born in 1954 and raised in San Francisco's Sunnydale community, Natalie Woods reflects on a childhood shaped by close family ties, unspoken rules, and formative experiences that tested her sense of safety and trust. Through both hardship and love, she developed a strong inner compass-making early decisions to choose a different path for her life.

From her first job at Blue Cross Blue Shield to her years at the Hyatt Regency and a transformative career as a flight attendant, Natalie's journey is one of growth, independence, and self-discovery. Along the way, she builds lasting friendships and a 34-year marriage that becomes her foundation.

Woven with themes of protection, perseverance, and personal choice, Threads That Held Me Together honors the people, moments, and decisions that shaped her life.

Written in collaboration with Alexandria Roberts, this memoir is a testament to the strength it takes to become who you are meant to be.
