When her husband dies in a car crash--not long after announcing he wants a divorce--Jo Mackenzie packs up her two rowdy boys and moves from London to a dilapidated villa in her seaside hometown where she takes over her beloved Gran's knitting shop. After a rough beginning, Jo soon finds comfort in a "Stitch and Bitch" group--a collection of quirky, lively women who share their stories, and their addiction to cake, with warmth and humor.

Jo MacKenzie yearns for some quiet time alone as she tries to manage three rambunctious children, a busy new shop and cafe, a fledgling romance, and the antics of her friends and family.
