Gertie has always wondered what her life would be like if she could pluck up the courage to leave the remote Scottish island where she was born.

It’s the only place she’s ever known, but it can be stifling. The glue of this community is the Knitting Circle, a group of strong, capable (and nosy) women who gossip, knit and support each other through thick and thin.

So when the chance comes for change – a new job, new friends and maybe even a new romance – a world of possibilities opens up for Gertie: if she can finally be brave enough to make her dreams come true.
