Georgia Walker is a single mother who owns a yarn shop in
Manhattan. The club consists of her daughter Dakota, a 12-year-old,
who flits in and out of the club with baked goods and
entrepreneurial ambitions; a widow named Anita who is Georgia's
mentor; an academic named Darwin ; a 40-year-old single woman named
Lucie who fools a date into getting her pregnant; an aspiring purse
designer and part-time worker in the shop named Petra ; Georgia's
best friend, named K.C. in her mid-40s hoping to get into law
school; and Georgia's childhood friend Cat who is a wealthy wife
bored to tears.
When Dakota's father, James comes back into Georgia's life,
Georgia's life becomes even more hectic than it already is. James
wants to spend more time with Dakota and also Georgia. Dakota loves
having a dad around and loves the gifts she gets.
Anita is Georgia's sounding board and mentor. She is a widow but
her children are now grown and living elsewhere. Marty the
downstairs Deli owner is interested in Anita.
Darwin, Lucie, Petra and K. C. all have their own issues which the
other members of the knitting club help them with.
The pattern at the end of the book is for a scarf and I would have
expected to see the sweater pattern that everyone in the club was
knitting. ???
This was an okay book. It seemed to me that the story has been done
before and was not as smooth as it should have been.
