Tuesday Evenings with the Copeton Craft Resistance
by Kate Solly
Tuesday Evenings with the Copeton Craft Resistance introduces us to Meredith, who starts a crochet group (no knitters!) primarily to be in charge and avoid men. But as others join – from Claire seeking escape to Yasmin looking for connection – the group evolves beyond her initial intentions. When a new mosque proposal stirs up bigotry in their sleepy town, this motley crew of fiber artists finds themselves becoming an unexpected "Craft Resistance." The book offers a wonderfully charming and often funny look at how a diverse group of individuals, each with their own quiet struggles and secrets, can find strength and a powerful voice together. It’s a heartwarming story about found family, the gentle art of community building, and standing up for what’s right with a needle and yarn. Pick this up if you love stories that celebrate everyday heroes and the quiet power of connection.
