A charming and moving novel about female friendship and the
experiences that knit us together-even when we least expect
it.
Walker and Daughter is Georgia Walker's little yarn shop,
tucked into a
quiet storefront on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The Friday
Night
Knitting Club was started by some of Georgia's regulars, who
gather
once a week to work on their latest projects and to chat-and
occasionally clash-over their stories of love, life, and
everything in
between.
Georgia has her hands full, juggling the
demands of
running the store and raising her spunky teen daughter,
Dakota, by
herself. Thank goodness for Anita, her mentor and dear
friend, and the
rest of the members of the knitting club-who are just as
varied as the
skeins of yarn in the shop's bins. There's Peri, a prelaw
student
turned handbag designer; Darwin, a somewhat aloof feminist grad
student; and Lucie, a petite, quiet woman who's harboring
some secrets
of her own.
However, unexpected changes soon throw
these
women's lives into disarray, and the shop's comfortable
world gets
shaken up like a snow globe. James, Georgia's ex,
decides that
he wants to play a larger role in Dakota's life-and possibly
Georgia's
as well. Cat, a former friend from high school, returns to
New York as
a rich Park Avenue wife and uneasily renews her old bond
with Georgia.
Meanwhile, Anita must confront her growing (and
reciprocated) feelings
for Marty, the kind neighborhood deli owner. And when the
unthinkable
happens, they realize what they've created: not just a
knitting club,
but a sisterhood.
