Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs

What a wonderful book and well-done audiobook!  I enjoyed listening The Friday Night Knitting Club so much, even through some tears!  It’s a little idealistic along the lines The Walton’s TV show was, but the people still feel very real, and I got caught up in their lives and found myself rooting for them and often having the satisfaction of seeing them grow and change and succeed (in careers, school, and relationships).  Georgia and her 12-13 year-old bi-racial daughter Dakota, Georgia’s mentor/supporter Arlene, Dakota’s father James, deli-owner Marty, and all the women of the Friday Night Knitting Club are each unique and special.  Walker and Daughter live and have their small yarn shop in Manhattan.   Carrington McDuffie does a wonderful job narrating the Blackstone audiobook, which the Library has in CD and as a downloadable audiobook in our Digital Library.
