Summer On Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber (ARC) ~~
Knitting and life. They’re both about beginnings — and endings. That’s why it makes sense for Lydia Goetz, owner of A Good Yarn on Seattle’s Blossom Street, to offer a class called Knit to Quit. It’s for people who want to quit something — or someone! — and start a new phase of their lives.
First to join is Phoebe Rylander. She recently ended her engagement to a man who doesn’t know the meaning of faithful, and she’s trying to get over him. Then there’s Alix Turner. She and her husband, Jordan, want a baby, which means she has to quit smoking. And Bryan Hutchinson joins the class because he needs a way to deal with the stress of running his family’s business — not to mention the lawsuit brought against him by an unscrupulous lawyer.
Life can be as complicated as a knitting pattern. Just ask Anne Marie Roche. She and her adopted daughter, Ellen, finally have the happiness they wished for. And then a stranger comes to her bookstore asking questions.
Or ask Lydia herself. Not only is she coping with her increasingly frail mother, but she and Brad have unexpectedly become foster parents to an angry, defiant twelve-year-old.
But as Lydia already knows, when life gets difficult and your stitches are snarled, your friends can always help!
Welcome back to Blossom Street :) Lydia and her sister Margaret come up with a new idea for a knitting class ~ Knit to Quit. A class for those that are trying to quit something ~ from smoking to forgetting about a fiance. There are also old friends who are back, who aren't taking the class, but who have new stories of their own to tell. Alix joins the Knit to Quit class to quit smoking so she & Jordan can have a baby. Newcomers Brian and Phoebe join the welcoming circle of friends. Brian takes up knitting to de-stress, and Phoebe to forget about what ails her heart. Anne-Marie and her adopted daughter Ellen are just back from Paris to a surprise that Anne-Marie never saw coming (but will allow Ellen to cross something off her Twenty Wishes list). Something that could tear her precious new family apart. And in the midst of helping others, Lydia and Brian are working on their own family. Finally approved as adoptive parents, they begin their wait for the newborn baby they know will complete their family. However, when their social worker calls with an emergency placement of a troubled preteen girl, Lydia & Brian are unsure of what to do. They never expected this small act of kindness would provide them with the one thing they've been looking for all along. This is a wonderful story of friends coming together to support one another, of finding ones self and finding love when you least expect it. I always enjoy my visits to Blossom Street and this time was no different.
This book is due to be released May 1st. Pre-order your copy here ~
