When Owen Bancroft returns to a small California coastal town to get his mother settled in a memory-care facility, dragging his former bad-boy reputation behind him, it stirs up a lot of memories for Lucy Harrison, who harbored a secret crush on him in high school. True to the romance formula, they meet under heightened (but not cute) circumstances (for which Herron gets props), and things go along about as the reader expects, with various small-town characters and members of Lucy's family providing color and depth.

What lifts this one out of the ordinary is a well-developed subplot involving some lost writings by a late knitting guru who called the town home, and how threads from the past wind through the future (pun intended), eventually connecting many of these characters. Knitters will recognize the references to superstars like Barbara Walker and Elizabeth Zimmerman. For non-knitters -- just think "newly discovered Beatles recordings".

Overall, this was an enjoying read.

Another great book in this series!

I thought the characters would be easy to follow from book to book, but I didn't remember Lisa from How to Knit a Love Song. As it turns out, you get to know them very quickly, and the story moves along quite nicely. You're able to catch up some of your favorite characters, which is one of the main reasons I enjoy reading series books.

On to book 3...Wishes and Stitches...
