On the third Friday of each month, Eugenie, Ruth, Esther, Merry, and Camille meet at the Sweetgum Christian Church to enjoy the two things that connect them: a love of knitting and a passion for books. Their camaraderie remains unthreatened until Eugenie, the town librarian, introduces an angry teenager into their midst. Eugenie also gives them a new reading list: the classic novels of girlhood that young Hannah has never read. Little Women. Pollyanna. Heidi. Books that remind the women of the hopes and dreams they have lost along the way.

With each click of their needles, the ladies of the Knit Lit Society unravel their secrets: A shadow from Eugenie’s past haunts the controlled order of her life. Merry’s perfect little family is growing again–but will she continue to feel her identity slip away? Camille dreams of leaving town but is bound by ties of love. And the sisters, Ruth and Esther, must confront a lie they have lived with for over thirty years.

As Hannah is reluctantly stitched into their lives, the women discover the possibility that even in sleepy Sweetgum, Tennessee, they can still be the heroines of their own stories.

I enjoyed reading this book from the first page. I was immediately interested in the various situations that the members of the knit lit society were facing. The book was difficult to put down. Hence, I read it quicker than the other books I am currently reading.

This book has been mailed to dvg of Flanders, New Jersey whom I tagged in the wishlist tag game.

I am sure that you will enjoy this book, dvg.

Arrived safely in NJ today. I'm so excited to receive a wishlist book ~ especially since I have the sequel sitting on my Mt TBR. (Let me know if you want me to send to you when I'm done.)

I love these reads on knitting, crocheting and good friendships. I can't wait to dive in! I have a few others ahead of it but it will be read soon.

Thank you for tagging me with a wishlist book, the sweet note and the cute owl magnetic bookmark. I love those! =)

Even though I wished for the book, I had not anticipated enjoying it as much as I did! I absolutely loved the characters in the story! Hannah will certainly touch everyone's heart and have you thinking that someone has to step up. I won't give away the plot but it is enjoyable from page one to the very last. I even started the second one right after this one. That good.

Sending to southernfryed who is wishing for the first in the series. Enjoy it my BC friend! Happy to share a good read with you. Happy Reading and Happy BookCrossing!

Like dvg, I've had book 2 on my toberead shelf for a while. The fact that you are giving it such good reviews will make me want to read it that much faster. Thanks for sharing.
