Terri DuLong’s Christmas Contest Features an Artisan’s Dream:
Hand-Painted Ornament & SPINNING FORWARD—
—A Contemporary Romance with a Knitting Twist
Terri DuLong spins a little extra holiday cheer for the grand prizewinner of her Special Edition Christmas Contest, with a prize of an original artisan SPINNING FORWARD ornament and a copy of her debut novel. In SPINNING FORWARD (released in November in trade paperback to rave reviews), Terri has crafted a poignant story about the trials and joys of close-knit relationships among family and friends. This touching novel would make a great gift for all the booklovers on your shopping list, especially the knitters!
A New Englander born and bred, the last place Sydney Webster expects to find herself starting over is on an island off the coast of Florida. Yet here she is in Cedar Key, trying to pull herself together after her husband’s untimely death—and the even more untimely revelation of his gambling addiction. Bereft of her comfortable suburban life, Syd takes shelter at a college pal’s bed and breakfast, where amidst the bougainvillea blossoms and the island’s gentle rhythms, a plan begins to form.
Syd never considered the possibility of turning her passion for spinning and knitting into something more than a hobby, but when the unique composition of her wool draws attention, a door is opened—the first among many. And as she ventures out of her comfort zone, Syd finds herself stepping into the embrace of a community rich with love, laughter, friendship . . . and secrets. As long-hidden truths are revealed, Syd faces a choice: Spin a safety net—or spin decidedly forward and never look back.
