Nell knits ... a lot. She knits blankets for new babies, socks and hats and mittens for the children's home, and scarves for everyone in her family.

What Nell doesn't do is talk a lot . . . not until a small, unexpected moment in the limelight changes her life.

Nell is a character as warm and comforting as a hand-knit sweater, through whom the joys of knitting and generosity shine.
