The Friday Night Knitting Cluby by Kate Jacobs

The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs. It's about a single mother (Georgia) who owns a knitting store in Manhattan. She is raising her pre-teen daughter (Dakota) by herself while trying to maintain some semblance of life. She's sort of been forced -by her customers - into little relationships through of her store. Georgia is somewhat of a reluctant friend to others because of her mistrust of people and so when the "unthinkable" happens, she comes to see that these little relationships that she's built are actually friendships.

I'm about 100 pages in and it's really good. The book reminds me of Maeve Binchy in the way she moves from character to character, weaving lives together. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Update:  Terrific!!!!  Read it!  A must!!!
