Hooked: How Crafting Saved My Life
by Sutton Foster
“From the 2-time Tony Award-winner and the star of TV’s Younger, funny and intimate stories and reflections about how crafting has kept her sane while navigating the highs and lows of family, love, and show business (and how it can help you, too).”

REVIEWS
“In prose both brutally honest and deeply empathetic, [Foster] writes of her struggle with panic attacks and of knitting, collaging, and baking as a way to ease anxiety about major life events—including a very public divorce—but also as a means to celebrate more joyous moments, such as adopting her daughter, Emily, and marrying her husband, screenwriter Ted Griffin. Those struggling with mental health or family problems will find this incredibly moving.”
“Foster makes a persuasive case that hobbies are a salvation, and a universal one at that. More people can probably aspire to crocheting a blanket than can tap dance to multiple Tonys, as Foster has. “Hooked” shows its author to be both exceptional and much like the fretting rest of us. Pass the yarn.”

WORKING WITH LIZ
“Writing, like crochet, singing, drawing and acting, is also a craft….. Liz helped me find and follow my story and encouraged me to dig deeper. We always knew we were on to something if she got goosebumps (or cried.)”
