by KateJacobs (Author)
The ladies of the #1 New York Times bestselling Friday Night Knitting Club return in a moving, laugh-out-loud celebration of special times with friends and family...
Whipping up chocolate-orange scones at pastry school is Dakota Walker's passion, but she'll never give up the Friday Night Knitting Club at Walker and Daughter, the coziest yarn shop in Manhattan. The club is also a haven for Peri, Darwin, Lucie, K.C., Anita, and Catherine--Dakota's dearest friends, big sisters, and sometimes surrogate mothers.
With the holidays just around the corner, the women have reason to celebrate: There's a special wedding planned for New Year's Day. And in the meantime, Dakota is finishing a sweater her mother started before she was born. As she takes on her mother's pattern, she learns that there was much more history in these stitches than she had anticipated, and to build on her mother's legacy, Dakota must become the woman she truly desires to be.
