In knitting, sometimes you have to frog a project to fix it. Start over again, with a new approach, new assumptions, new parameters. Could that work in relationships, too? Astrid Karlsen was about to find out. She'd made a tangled mess of things with her family. The way forward demanded a new pattern. Stitch by stitch, she would have to knit an entirely new fabric from the strands connecting her to her rebellious daughter, her troubled son, her long-suffering husband. And she would have to rely on Benjamin Letellier, the freethinking yarn bomber who'd eloped with her daughter. As the art professor immerses herself in the Frenchman's improbable crafting community, she realizes what Sigrun sees in him: a genius whose talent for weaving harmony out of chaos extends well beyond his giant crocheted murals to the relationships he forges with others. Astrid can only hope her resolve to support Ben's quest to remain in the US doesn't end up being too little too late.
