THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

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 KC—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.

I probably would have gave this another star if it wasn't for the HORRIBLE ending!! Seriously?? After I spent 200 plus pages getting involved in the main character, lets just kill her off when she is finally all happy...gaahh!!!! LOL

I don’t usually find myself picking books from the “chick lit” genre, but I read this for my initial foray into Books-a-Million’s book clubs. I liked this, but Georgia’s involvement in the club always seemed sort of periphery. It was always more Anita’s thing than Georgia’s, and I think allowing it to continue was just another way for Georgia to pretend that she was letting people in while she continued to keep them at arm’s length. I think it’s hard for even the reader to really get to know Georgia, and for that reason I connected more with some of the other characters, mainly Anita, Darwin, and Lucie. What happens to Georgia seems sudden and even unnecessary, almost turning this novel about “sisterhood” into a public service announcement. But overall I did enjoy reading this, and it’s even made me think about picking up knitting again (which I haven’t done in probably 20 years)!
