Crazy Aunt Purl's Drunk, Divorced and Covered in Cat Hair 306.89 Per

This book is by Laurie Perry and it is non-fiction. It is a touching but humorous book about a 30+ year old happily married woman. Well, that describes her one day. The next day her husband announces that he needs to leave to "get his creativity back". From the title you can guess how she took the news. Her husband didn't fight over custody of the four-legged kids. In fact he just left them - all four of the felines- with Laurie. That, of course, made it a lot harder to find a place to live when she needed to downsize to a more affordable place.
I have read several books about women finding comfort and new friendships by knitting or quilting - but they were fiction! This happens to Laurie in real life. Yep, knitting saved her sanity and led her to new friends.
A delightful and easy read.
