Review: The Oysterville Sewing Circle

The Oysterville Sewing Circle The Oysterville Sewing Circle by Susan Wiggs
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Caroline Shelby left her Oysterville, California, home never to return. But here she is 10 years later, returning with 2 children, 5 and 6 years of age, not belonging to her. She had been in New York pursing a career in garment design and doing very well when another designer stole some of her designs. Caroline did not feel like standing up to this designer and therefore decided the only option she had was to return home. When pulling into town the last person she expected to see was her best friend from their high school days. They both said when they left this town they would never return. Will Jensen had spent time with the Navy Seals until being wounded overseas and he returned home.

Domestic violence played a part in Caroline ending up with the children. The children's mother had modeled for Caroline and also for the designer who stole Caroline's designs. She was in an abusive relationship with him in order to keep her job.

The Oysterville Sewing Circle is a book showing strength in the healing powers of friendship and love, support and sisterhood.
