Abigail Durant receives an unexpected inheritance from celebrated knitter Eliza Carpenter: a cottage that offers the possibility of a fresh start. Taking up the gift brings her into the orbit of Eliza’s nephew, Cade MacArthur, whose sheep ranch and firmly held views leave little room for the disruption Abigail represents. What begins as a practical change of circumstances soon becomes complicated by attraction, conflicting assumptions and the emotional significance of the woman who connected them. Knitting provides more than background detail, linking creativity, memory and the gradual making of new relationships. Rachael Herron combines a rural romance with a story of rediscovering possibility, as Abigail and Cade learn that the lives they expect to lead may not be the ones that suit them best.
