From humble beginnings in an impoverished Jewish family in the South Bronx, Jeanette Feldman discovered the power of art and culture to build a life filled with love, travel, family, and creativity.

Told through a collage-style collection of essays, poetry, and stories, Patchwork and Ornament includes full-color photographs of Ms. Feldman's art. Patchwork and Ornament is described by Feathered Quill as "a touching celebration and tribute of life in all its glory, from love, to family and children, to the heartaches of death and all other life struggles."
