This is an amazing story done by Karen Grassi Vogel- starts out with Granny Weaver and her feeling that something more needs to be done with her "lttle women" in the Amish community that are so precious to her. She starts with inviting each one of her "little women" to a knitting circle- and they all begin to open up to each other!!! One Amish lady- cannot have children and Granny sees her through with some amazing advice- which leads to an adoption of two wonderful newborns. Then we have another Amish lady who has been through spousal abuse- so far Ruth has never stood up and said anything- but then her husband carries it a bit too far- and Ruth leaves her husband while he gets counseling and needed medications. Then another young lady goes through cancer- and Granny Weaver is right there to help her with visits at the Doctors office and all. Fannie is another young lady who has always thought she was ugly and no man would ever love her- but through Granny's love and support the man of Fannie's dreams asks her to marry him!!!! Then we have one Amish lady who had gone through rape years ago- and felt she could not marry the love of her life. However the "love of her life" his wife has died and left him free to marry Lizzie is she so desires!!! And last but not least we have the young unwed mother who had given birth to the two twins that were adopted by the Amish couple- and she comes to town- not to get her babies back- but to learn how to give her heart back to the Lord!!!! I have never been to a knitting circle before- but this books make me wish I had!!!! By the way- end of the book I felt as if Granny Weaver was my own Grassmami *(grandmother)!!!In all this book I saw one constant thread- we may not all know where we are going but the Lord does know and he will provide!!!
