Back on Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber


I really enjoy Debbie Macomber books and the Blossom Street books are some of my favorites! I originally bought them for my daughter, who is a knitter, but I found that I love them even though I don't knit.


Like the first two books in the series, Back on Blossom Street centers around A Good Yarn, Lydia Goetz's knitting shop on Blossom Street in Seattle. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the folks you find there are as different as night and day... yet the bond they share is strong and unbreakable.


Many of the old favorites are back... Alix, Jacqueline, Margaret... and there are new faces... Collette, Susannah (not new if you have read Susannah's Garden), Anne Marie.


Things are busy on Blossom Street.... Alix and Jordan are in the midst of wedding plans and things are not going well. His mother and Jacqueline have taken over and Alix is about to implode under the pressure.


Tragedy strikes Margaret's family and brings about a change that threatens to destroy the very core of her family.


Collette is the newest member of the Blossom Street family and she has a secret... one she is determined to hide for as long as possible.


And Lydia has decided it is time for a new knitting class. This time they will be making a prayer shawl... and along the way the knitters learn that the comfort the shawl is intended to give the recipient, leaks its way into their own lives.


As always this is a wonderful read with rich characters and strong story lines.

I recently finished A Good Yarn by Debbie Macomber. This is the first book I've read by this author and I'm highly impressed. I'll have to get the rest of the series and read it.
