If you love Susan Mallery and Jill Shalvis, you won’t want to miss this new novel of second chances, dogs, and knitting, from the author of Pupcakes and Sit! Stay! Speak!
Laid off, cheated on, mugged: what else can go wrong in Maeve Stephens’ life? So when she learns her birth mother has left her a house, a vintage VW Beetle, and a marauding cat, in the small town of Timber Creek, Washington, she packs up to discover the truth about her past.
She arrives to the sight of a cheerful bulldog abandoned on her front porch, a reclusive but tempting author living next door, and a set of ready-made friends at the St. Francis Society for Wayward Pets, where women knit colorful sweaters for the dogs and cats in their care. But there’s also an undercurrent of something that doesn’t sit right with Maeve. What’s the secret (besides her!) that her mother had hidden?
If Maeve is going to make Timber Creek her home, she must figure out where she fits in and unravel the truth about her past. But is she ready to be adopted again—this time, by an entire town…?

“Sarah Naughton delivers a charming narration of this story… Naughton portrays the overwhelmed protagonist with tender humor…Naughton captures the townsfolk with equal deftness. Transitions between the voice of Maeve in the present and that of Annabelle as a girl are seamless. Both portrayals add to the heartwarming nature of the story as Maeve stumbles upon the true mission of the seemingly bland knitting society. A quietly empowering story is told with wit and wistfulness. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
