"Knitters will enjoy seeing the healing power of stitching put into words. Its simplicity and soothing repetition leave room for conversation, laughter, revelations, and friendship--just like the beauty shop in Steel Magnolias."
--Detroit Free Press
"If you like to write or read or knit, your first reaction to The Friday Night Knitting Club may be pure jealousy... Readers will come to root for nearly everyone in the sweetly diverse cast of characters."
--Concord (NH) Monitor
Once a week, an eclectic group of women comes together at a New York City yarn shop to work on their latest projects--and share the stories of their lives...
At the center of Walker and Daughter is the shop’s owner, Georgia, who is overwhelmed with juggling the store and single-handedly raising her teenage daughter. Happy to escape the demands of her life, she looks forward to her Friday Night Knitting Club, where she and her friends--Anita, Peri, Darwin, Lucie, and K.C.--exchange knitting tips,jokes, and their deepest secrets. But when the man who once broke Georgia’s heart suddenly shows up, demanding a role in their daughter’s life, her world is shattered.
Luckily, Georgia’s friends are there for encouragement, sharing their own tales of intimacy, heartbreak, and miracle making. And when the unthinkable happens, these women will discover that what they’ve created isn’t just a knitting club: it’s a sisterhood.
