They're both about beginnings - and endings. It's for people who want to quit something - or someone! Anne Marie Roche wants to find happiness again. On Valentine's Day, Anne Marie and several other widows get together to celebrate Hope, possibility, the future. They each begin a list of 20 wishes. Anne Marie's list starts with "Find one good thing about life". It includes learning to knit, doing good for someone else, falling in love again. She begins to act on her wishes, and when she volunteers at a local school, an eight-year-old girl named Ellen enters her life.
It's a relationship that becomes far more involving than Anne Marie intended. It also becomes far more important than she ever imagined. Susannah Nelson, the owner, has just hired a young widow named Colette Blake. A couple of months earlier, Colette had abruptly quit her previous job - after a brief affair with her boss. Now, to her dismay, he's suddenly begun placing weekly orders for flower arrangements! Beth Morehouse expects this Christmas to be one of her best.
Her small Christmas-tree farm is prospering, her daughters and her dogs are happy and well, and her new relationship with local vet Ted Reynolds is showing plenty of romantic promise. Turns out his name was Max Russell, and Bob had known him briefly in Vietnam. We still don't have any idea why he came here and - most important of all - who killed him. Because it now appears that he was poisoned. I sure hope somebody figures it out soon! Michael Everett receives a letter Hannah had written him.
In it she reminds him of her love and makes one final request. An impossible request. I want you to marry again. During the months that follow, he spends time with Winter, Leanne, and Macy, learning more about each of them…and about himself. My year-old daughter, Jolene, is jealous of her. She claims Rachel ruined everything. The real question is: How can I get my wife back? You can usually find me either at home or at the public library, where I work. I've lived in this town all my life and raised two daughters here.
But my husband and I - well, about six months ago, he disappeared. Where's Dan? Why did he go? Who's he with? Will I ever find out? In the middle of the year, in the middle of her life, Bethanne Hamlin takes a road trip with her daughter Annie, and her former mother-in-law, Ruth.
A long-time widow, Ruth would like to reconnect with Royce, the love of her teenage life. Maybe even hopeful. Bethanne herself needs time to reflect, to ponder a decision she has to make. More filters.
Sort order. The Debbie Macomber "Blossom Street" books aren't the type of books that will change your life. But what they are is a very sweet, nice read that will make you feel good. Sort of in an "aww.. These books revolve around a yarn shop in Seattle and highlight the lives of the women who take knitting classes there.
Being a knitter myself, I like reading books that involve knitting. I can instantly relate to the characters. The characters in the books each The Debbie Macomber "Blossom Street" books aren't the type of books that will change your life.
The characters in the books each have their own story line, which makes it interesting to see how they all interweave with one another. View 2 comments. Nov 27, Lisa rated it it was amazing Shelves: debbie-macomber , about-women. I enjoyed this second installment in the Blossom Street series even more than the first. Debbie Macomber's characters feel like real women to me.
I can see each one of them and I'd love to know them. She makes you feel like you could stroll right into that yarn shop and you'd be met with a group of women who'd say, "Lisa! We've been waiting for you! It's like the Cheers of the female middle-aged reading set.
And that's my set! I can't wait to continue with this series. It just gives me such a I enjoyed this second installment in the Blossom Street series even more than the first. It just gives me such a lift in spirit. And so far, the narrators have been truly wonderful. I hope that continues throughout the series, because they are not read by the same narrator. Onto the third! Sep 10, Gayle rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: Anyone.
Great easy read. Good story. Light and entertaining tale of the lives of several very different woman who are joined together by a knitting class. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Not a bad story! Liked seeing Bethanne's journey and moving on from her husband!
Like the fact even more that later On in the series when he comes crawling back she chooses a better man.
But, and it may be an unpopular opinion, I thought Lydia's and Brad's story was a joke! He was an asshole to her! The whole he forgave his ex and left the woman he loved and supported through cancer, to make his son happy was ridiculous on so many levels. Lydia surviving cancer showed them how precious life was a Not a bad story!
Lydia surviving cancer showed them how precious life was and they said they loved each other, so why was he willing to throw that away for his nasty ex? Cody loved her? From what I saw she was a useless mum he was used to not having around and in his own words he loved Lydia? Brad apparently didn't love his ex so why bother? He said his son deserved both parents? Only if they care, All he did was bring his ex back into their lives and she hurt them again and he ruined Lydia!
What annoyed me was his treatment of Lydia who he apparently loved! He told her he would not apologise, he wouldn't be with her, and was sick of women, lumping her in with his ex when she had done nothing wrong! She ends up apologising to him! For not supporting him when he betrayed her! Come on even martyrdom only goes so far! He should of been crawling back to her and apologising!
All he has to do is turn up to her shop after no contact and hold his arms open and she runs into them! Bing bang and then they are Getting married? Doormat central! A fact that makes Lydia very sad. And why is there always the need of a woman who goes through the same emotions and experiences all over again throughout her entire life?
Sure, the author writes with a wonderful sensitivity about very emotional things and places every word very carefully. And getting divorced or losing a parent is never easy. And it changes a life forever. And yes, Debbie Macomber has a beautiful way to let her figures go through some rough times without becoming to kitschy. But in A Good Yarn it was sometimes just too much.
Brad does everything to make his son happy and give him the family he deserves. Or to believe her. Yes, Lydia reacts with what she can do and what not, and yes, she has every right to do so. After she survived two times cancer, she has a different way to see life and to do things. Absolutely not. It seems always to be the same pattern the author is using to put her story and characters on display.
Another fantastic book from Debbie. View 1 comment. Dec 07, Jonel rated it really liked it Shelves: print. What a wonderfully enjoyable story. Macomber had me crying like a baby and laughing real belly laughs in turn. The intertwining tales throughout created a complex plot that kept me thoroughly captivated.
It was so real and realistic. I love how Macomber can examine situations from every side without breaking the flow of the story. Each one came to life in a different wa What a wonderfully enjoyable story.
Each one came to life in a different way for me. I loved how I got to know them as individuals. The different trials that they went through brought me closer to each of them. Once again Macomber put pen to paper to create an unforgettable story of the lives of her many characters. It was a great read on its own and a fantastic addition to her series.
Happy marriages, divorces, dating scenarios, crushes, and disappointments. People struggle with financial ruin, job loss and major health issues. The reader shares their ups and downs, and it ends on a predictably upbeat note. They are all mind candy, comfort reads. Linda Emond does a fine job narrating the audiobook. She has a lot of characters to voice and manages to keep them straight. Jul 17, Tiffany rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: anyone looking for a sweet read!
