Walker and Daughter was an establishment born out of a necessity for Georgia to support herself when her Daughter, Dakota, was born. Anita, a lady Georgia met in the park, encouraged Georgia to knit for others, and after the store was opened, Anita came to work there in need of something to keep her mind busy. The Friday Night Knitting Club was born by “accident” and survived week to week on 12-year old Dakota’s baking, gossip and knitting advice. Each woman learns something about the others in the group and later assists them when needed. Old relationships are re-formed and new ones thrive even though the backgrounds, occupations and social standing of each is very different. The ending was unanticipated but throughout the book there is courage to face life, the struggles each person faces with a bit of optimism, and the tenacity to see things through to the end.
4 stars.
