false <![CDATA[The Sweetgum Knit Lit Society: A Novel]]> 2148007 2 Sometimes life has to unravel before you can knit it together… On the third Friday of each month, Eugenie, Ruth, Esther, Merry, and Camille meet at the Sweetgum Christian Church to enjoy the two things that connect them: a love of knitting and a passion for books. Their camaraderie remains unthreatened until Eugenie, the town librarian, introduces an angry teenager into their midst. Eugenie also gives them a new reading list: the classic novels of girlhood that young Hannah has never read. Little Women. Pollyanna. Heidi. Books that remind the women of the hopes and dreams they have lost along the way. With each click of their needles, the ladies of the Knit Lit Society unravel their secrets: A shadow from Eugenie’s past haunts the controlled order of her life. Merry’s perfect little family is growing again–but will she continue to feel her identity slip away? Camille dreams of leaving town but is bound by ties of love. And the sisters, Ruth and Esther, must confront a lie they have lived with for over thirty years. As Hannah is reluctantly stitched into their lives, the women discover the possibility that even in sleepy Sweetgum, Tennessee, they can still be the heroines of their own stories. 2153500 20 5 2008 The Sweetgum Knit Lit Society: A Novel total:167|5:19|4:61|3:67|2:15|1:5| 167 575 305 58 3 1 false false Tue Oct 21 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 13 14:36:46 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 23 06:32:28 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Aug 14 09:22:09 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 14 09:22:37 -0700 2008 ISBN: 9781400073948
