The Friday Night Knitting Club

It seems I've been enjoying a lot of really great books lately and I have another one to share with you today. The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs was one of those great stories that will make you laugh and cry. I found myself really caring for the characters and when I hit that last page I was wishing the story wasn't over. Here's a synopsis from the book's website:

A single mom in her 30s, Georgia juggles the Walker & Daughter knitting store with raising her spunky teen daughter, Dakota. Georgia's customers gather to work on their latest projects and chat about love, life, and every thing. The members of the club are as varied as the yarn in the shop: There's Peri, a pre-law student turned hand- bag designer; Anita, a silver-haired uptown matron; Darwin, a somewhat aloof grad student; K.C., an out-of-work editor looking for inspiration, and Lucie, a television producer with surprises up her sleeve. Soon their quiet Fridays are shaken up: Georgia's ex wants a role in Dakota's life –and possibly Georgia's as well. Cat, a former high school friend, uneasily renews her bond with Georgia. And when the unthinkable happens, the knitting club realizes they've created a sisterhood.

I discovered today that Knit Two, the sequel to The Friday Night Knitting Club, goes on sale on Nov 25! I know what I'm putting on my Christmas wish list!
