Sandra, a rigid academic, is struggling to navigate the world after losing her husband to cancer. Martha, a self-taught textile artist with her own secret store of grief, spends her days knitting elaborate projects charged with personal meaning. After a chance meeting sparks a friendship between these two very different women, they begin to collaborate-leading to surprising events that will help heal them both.
"A moving story about true love and haunting grief."
Adriana Trigiani, author of Big Stone Gap
"A love of the handicraft in question is not a prerequisite for appreciating [] . . . The finished product has a subtle beauty."
Washington Post
"Compelling . . . There is a lot in this book for anyone who ponders the big questions of life: the nature of friendship, the need for meaningful work, the comfort of sharing grief."
