The Friday Night Knitting Club
by Kate Jacobs
At Walker & Daughter, Georgia, a single mother runs a knitting shop - a business she started with help of a benefactor and new friend. As the years go by, the shop succeeds and her daughter grows into a young woman, A Club forms on Friday nights where her customers gather to knit and help one another and talk. The Club becomes a place of more than knitting, as the women talk about life, love and projects. Deep friendships grow.
Unexpectedly, Georgia's life changes drastically as two estranged people re-enter her life - her best friend in school and the father of her daughter. At the same time, life's changes come to the regular members of the Club and love, divorce, marriage, birth and death visit the members.
Through the trials, tribulations, joys and love, the members always have knitting to tie them together - the love of the yarn, the stitches and the process knit them together.
The attraction of this book is the imperfections of the characters who draw you into their world. Somehow, they make you feel a part of them. As the plot reels to its predictable ending, you are, nonetheless, delighted you took the journey.

This is a very enjoyable read. The characters are rich and believeable and the plot as varied as life's changes make it.
