The Friday Night Knitting Club-by Kate Jacobs

The small yarn shop in New York City belongs to Georgia Walker, a single mom, raising her daughter, Dakota. Anita, her good friend and mentor, helps her run and finance the business. A group gets together at the shop on Friday nights to knit, eat Dakota's muffins and deserts, and become good friends.

Georgia's world is shaken up when Dakota's absent father shows up wanting to become a part of their lives. The upheaval continues when K.C. decides to quit the book publishing business and go to law school at 50. Peri turns away from the academic world to turn to fashion design; creating handmade purses. Lucie, in her late 40's, decides to have a child alone. Darwin, the resident feminist, shocks everyone when she decides to become Lucie's friend and birth coach. From Georgia's high school days, a friend, Cat, appears asking for Georgia's help in creating a new life after Cat's divorce.

A sudden tragedy brings the Friday Night Knitting group together in friendship to help each other.
