Book 9: The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs explores the relationships and lives of women in our modern culture while they practice the time-honored crafts of knitting and supporting each other with friendship. It affirms the strength that women give each other through caring and networking as they struggle with life changes and a host of good and bad decisions in marriage, child rearing and business. I struggled a lot with the ending because Georgia Walker, the young mom and knitting store owner, is stricken with the same kind of cancer I had four years ago. The outcome of her struggle with ovarian cancer is sad but makes for a good read. Just be aware that you may be crying at the end of this touching story.
Book 10: "O" is for Outlaw by Sue Grafton, my traveling companion as I drove up and down US 95 this weekend. Another in the great alphabet mystery series with Kinsey Millhone as the heroine submitting her report on the events of her investigation into the shooting of her ex-husband in LA 14 years after the demise of their marriage. So great to use the drive as a time to "read"! Always a good story!
