Book Review: The Oysterville Sewing Circle by Susan Wiggs





The Oysterville Sewing Circle by Susan Wiggs
Starts out with listings of other works by the author which I think I've read them all and enjoyed.
Dedication which I have no idea why but will find out by the time I've read this and a table of contents.
Caroline arrives back in town and sees her old boyfriend with a bunch of guys running.....Love new words I'm learning and I know they won't be overused.
She rushes to get the young boy, not her kids and then rushes back to young girl. Coach Jensen had held onto the young boy for her...
Then we get to the story about when Caroline is in NY and she's in the middle of a fashion show-for Mick...
Love hearing of the design world and the sewing parts of it, so interesting and recyclable using things others would've tossed away.
Had tears  come to my eyes when she learns on the runway that Mick's stolen her designs and used them for himself....
So realistic, up to date with undocumented pregnant model...
Blacklisted and then her best friend who's pregnant moves in with her and the children
There is so much to this story about love romance sewing helping others, handling anger, making it through difficult times, surviving and finding out the truth.
Wow hits her when she finds out who really killed her friend, didn't see that coming but now the dedication makes sense to me.
Proceeds from the sale of the book will go towards domestic abuse.
Learned so many cool things reading this one-Krav Maga for one-maybe it'll help my grandson with his disease/illness.
Note from the author, acknowledgements, about the author and publisher are also included at the end.
Received this review copy from HarperCollins Publishers via William Morrow at NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
