What's the secret to a second chance? The ladies of Sweetgum, Tennessee would like to know. The town librarian can't believe it when her long-lost love turns up as the new pastor of the local church. Two sisters have loved the same man for years, but one of them can't hide her feelings for her sister's husband any longer. A busy mother of three misses the connection she and her husband used to share, and a young dress shop assistant still dreams of a life beyond her small town. Then the regular Friday night meetings of the women's knitting book club are disrupted by a new addition -- a neglected, surly teenager with more attitude than manners. Can their books and yarn, as well as their care for each other, thread a string of second chances for them all? SWEETGUM SECOND CHANCE is a full-length standalone work of clean and wholesome women's fiction. It features relatable characters and a Southern small town we'd all like to call home. A basic shawl knitting pattern and a reader's group guide are included! *first published as The Sweetgum Knit Lit Society (2008)
