The Unlikely Yarn of the Dragon Lady

De: Sharon J. Mondragón

Narrado por: Christina Moore

Margaret, Rose, Jane, and Fran had a good thing going: meet every week in the dusty quiet of their peaceful chapel and knit prayer shawls. No muss, just ministry. That is, until their pastor boots them out of the church in his last-ditch effort to revive the dwindling congregation.

Uptight Margaret isn’t having it. Knitting prayer shawls at the mall where people can watch is the most ridiculous idea she’s ever heard of, and she’s heard plenty. Prayer belongs in the church, not out in the public eye. How are they supposed to knit holiness into these shawls if they’re constantly distracted by people?

But given no choice, the other ladies embrace the challenge. They pack their knitting bags and drag along Margaret, grumbling the whole way. She can’t wait to prove them all wrong when this crazy plan fails miserably, and show the pastor that she knows best.

Without the familiar pattern the group has been stuck in, their own losses, pain, and struggles rise to the surface. And the people and situations they encounter every time they try to simply sit and knit take them further out of their comfort zone than they ever imagined. Can they find the courage to tackle the increasing number of knotty issues they learn about in their community—or will the tangle be too much?

Enjoyable story.

Enjoyable story. I wasn’t familiar with this author but will definitely look for more of her books. Excellent narration.

What love and friendship truly is all about.

This is such a beautiful story. The characters feel like real people, very relatable. They feel like people you actually know in real life. As a knitter, I understood more about how/why I choose my own projects. How each project has a purpose and all the love that goes into them. I can’t wait to hear the next story!!

Sweet

Loved the sweetness of this uplifting story and the knitters. The kindness and caring of others that the story shows

Wonderful story!

Soooo good! I thoroughly enjoyed this story about the Heavenly Hugs Prayer Shawl ministry. As a knitter myself, I found the author knew exactly what she was writing about in regards to the knitting. Loved that! The characters are all so different and each has his or her own stories within the story. So much is relatable. And yes, I’d heard it was a tear-jerker, and those reviews weren’t wrong. Needed a tissue a few times, but it was wonderful. Five stars!

One of the best books I've read in a long time

This wonderful light-hearted book brought me back to the real reason we do everything, God.
Hope to see more from this author soon!
