"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."
It sounds almost picture-esque and not so fraught with emotion when you read the above info from the back of the book, when in actuality it is a much deeper and emotional book than they make it out to be. Knitting is optional. If you are clueless about knitting it's okay because it doesn't get caught up in many technicalities or descriptions of knitting. It's more about the knitting group...just meeting to hang out; it could easily be a book club, a sewing group, quilters, scrapbookers, any group that shares a craft. And be prepared for heart-wrenching twists towards the end...I cried!
