Bestselling author Debbie Macomber brings us the story of several different women brought together by one knitting shop
Lydia Hoffman owns ‘A Good Yarn,’ the shop on Blossom Street, which has been in operation for more than a year and is thriving. Lydia’s relationship with Brad continues and she remains cancer free.
Jacqueline, Carol and Alix all continue to knit. But Margaret seems on edge lately and isn’t telling Lydia what is wrong. Other women start to sign up for the new sock knitting class: Elise, a retired librarian who is currently living with her daughter; Bethann Hamlin who is going through an ugly divorce and needs some distraction; and Courtney Pulanski, 16 years old and living with her widowed grandmother while her father’s job transfer to South America takes effect.
Brought together by an age-old craft, these women make unexpected discoveries about themselves and each other. The discoveries lead to love, to friendship and acceptance, to laughter and dreams.

"I finished the first of this series, A Shop on Blossom Street, and started into this one. It is a light read; but it stirred up my interest in knitting/crocheting again. Each book has a pattern in the first part. I recommend both books. " — Sdhall0824 (4 out of 5 stars)
"I finished the first of this series, A Shop on Blossom Street, and started into this one. It is a light read; but it stirred up my interest in knitting/crocheting again. Each book has a pattern in the first part. I recommend both books. "
“The author’s trademark warm treatment of the lives of women will satisfy her readers.”
“Narrator Linda Emond imbues this audio with a sense of realism as her carefully modulated pitch changes reflect the various characters and their range of emotions. Emond provides each character with a distinctive voice…an experience to be savored.”
“Revisiting the ladies from The Shop on Blossom Street and becoming acquainted with this new group is enriching and entertaining. Crafters will especially enjoy this, but anyone should readily identify with at least one character.”
" Typical chick book about love and friendship. Quick easy read. "
" This is the book that got me started on Debbie Macomber. I really like her 'easy read' style of writing. She's a feel good writer and does a great job. Haven't read a book of hers I didn't like. "

" Another bookclub choice. A fun, fast read, but one that I felt was fluff. I know that the next one Return to Blossom Street is on our bookclub list so I will be reading that too...but not thought provoking. A good beach chair read. "

" I love to learn and see old characters return! "
" The Blossom Street series seems very formulaic but enjoyable. Everything centers around A Good Yarn knitting/yarn shop. Somehow women dealing with various issues are drawn into a knitting class and we get to learn their stories. God works in mysterious ways, as is shown in this book. "

" Just as good as the first book. Sweet. ;-) "
