In The Beach Street Knitting Society and Yarn Club, McNeil introduced readers to Jo Mackenzie, a newly widowed mother who took over her gran"s yarn shop in a coastal English town. A year after her husband"s death, Jo is finally starting to get the hang of being a single parent. The boys are thriving, the yarn shop is starting to do well--thanks to Jo"s improvements--and she"s just about keeping her head above water. But unexpected developments and a new romance with the hunky local carpenter make life a whole lot more interesting. Can Jo cope when things get really complicated? Because if knitting really does keep you sane when life starts to unravel, Jo"s going to need much bigger needles. McNeil"s second book picks up where the first leaves off, with small-town intrigue, packed lunches, and the joys of knitting--not to mention romance--looming large in this warm and wonderful novel.
