My review:
I enjoyed this book as I am crafty and the references to the craft classes made me relate well to the book. I have a group of cross stitchers that get together once a month to stitch and talk and share stories and this book fit right in with our time together. It was a delightful read about a group of people that befriend each other and become entwined in each other's lives. It was a testament to learn a lesson that you don't always know where you will find the comfort and guidance that you are looking for, even when you didn't know you were looking. The book was a quick read and woould be perfect for a book club. The book also contains a reading guide just for that purpose.
