About this listen
Sweetgum's Knit Lit Society discusses literature and knitting but carefully avoids real problems. Merry's an overstressed mom with a crumbling marriage. Esther's picture-perfect life is blighted by her husband's desire for free-spirited Ruth. Camille's round-the-clock care for her ailing mom stifles her dreams. And Eugenie - the town's spinster librarian - mourns what might have been. But when a deeply troubled teen joins the group, her unique perspective and the enduring power of the classics they discuss trigger an unexpected outpouring of concern.
In a poignant tale that prompts both tears and laughter, Linda Stephens' magnificent narration highlights the simple eloquence of Pattillo's central theme: Sharing the burdens of others puts our own in perspective - and makes them all easier to bear.

. . . Grows on You
A cast of unlikely characters . . . and even more unlikely circumstances make up the Sweetgum Knit Lit Society . . . at times the story was so far fetched, that I nearly stopped listening . . . but as time went on, the women grew on me . . . especially Eugenie, the straight-laced, by-the-rules librarian, whom everyone THINKS they know . . . my favorite part of the book is when the group begin discussing Polyanna . . . and everything they love . . . ha ha . . . and they finally come out with some achingly sad and funny truths about themselves . . . the book is listed under religious and inspirational . . . the group meet in the Christian church . . . but I wouldn't classify the book as religious . . . its clean, a light listen and worth your time . . . glad I stuck with it . . . good conclusion to a tale of a small town women drawn together by knitting and reading . . .
