Lydia runs a knitting shop in Seattle and has decided to start a class. Three people sign up. Elise is retired and dealing with a class action lawsuit to get back some of the money she paid for a house; in the meantime, she is living with her daughter and her family. Courtney is a teenager and has moved in with her grandmother for her senior year of high school; she knows no one and wants to lose weight before school starts in the fall. Bethanne has just discovered her husband has been cheating for two years and he is leaving her with her two teenage children to raise on her own; she has no idea how to support herself, as she hasn't worked outside the home in almost 20 years.

I quite enjoyed this! I read the first in the series a number of years ago, and probably never knew that it was a series and had forgotten about it. I liked the women and was interested to see where things would lead for them (though I have to admit I wasn't necessarily happy with the ending of the book for a couple of them). It was a nice, light read. As an aside, a couple of the main characters from the first book were very minor characters in this one, too. I likely will continue the series.
