Synopsis

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?

This story was such a surprise! I had no idea I was going to enjoy it so much. You know when there's a character that you just can't stand for whatever reason? Because the author has written that character SO well that you are fed up with them almost from the start? This author had this gift with a c......more

Ever pick up a book and know it's just for you? That's how I felt about this book when I seen it. Why you ask? Because it answered so many of my questions that I had. It also had me in tears. Yes, I even snickered in a few spots too. Love, Hope and forgiveness are offered throughout this book. Each o......more

Goodreads review by Debbie on August 20, 2021

"The Unlikely Yarn of the Dragon Lady" is Christian women's fiction. There were a number of view point characters, but we mainly followed the lives of Margaret, Rose, Jane, and Fran. They knit prayer shawls in a peaceful chapel, but it's being painted. The pastor challenged them to knit in a public......more
