Helpful Score: 1

I found Spinning Forward to be an enjoyable read. I think knitters and spinners will find it especially enjoyable, but it's definitely not necessary to knit or spin to enjoy the book. The main character, Sydney, finds herself widowed from her long-time husband and finds that she didn't know him as well as she thought. This story chronicles Sydney's transition from wife to widow to self-actualized woman. The transition/growth theme is repeated numerous times in the book and there is also a recurring theme exploring relationships between mothers and daughters. I did, at times, find Sydney to be a bit annoying and over-reactive and I was a little uncomfortable with the mixture of feminism and new ageism, but all in all I did enjoy the book and intend to follow the series.
