There’s a new shop on Seattle’s Blossom Street—a flower store called Susannah’s Garden, right next door to A Good Yarn. 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. To her dismay, he’s suddenly begun placing weekly orders for flower arrangements!
Susannah and Colette both join Lydia Goetz’s new knitting class. Lydia’s previous classes have forged lasting friendships, and this one is no exception. But Lydia and her sister, Margaret, have worries of their own. Margaret’s daughter, Julia, has been the victim of a random carjacking, and the entire family is thrown into emotional chaos.
Then there’s Alix Townsend. Her wedding to Jordan Turner is only months away—but she’s not sure she can go through with it. Her love for Jordan isn’t in question; what she can’t handle is the whole wedding extravaganza engineered by her mentor, Jacqueline, with the enthusiastic cooperation of her future mother-in-law. A reception at the country club and hundreds of guests she’s never even met—it’s just not Alix.
Like everyone else in Lydia’s knitting class, Alix knows there’s a solution to every problem…and that another woman can usually help you find it!

"I was thrilled to rejoin some of my favorite Blossom Street characters and see them interact with new characters Debbie Macomber introduced into the series. Love and friendship blossom in several story lines; a delightful read."
— Jeanetta (5 out of 5 stars)
" The characters from the Blossom Street series are back with a few new additions. A quick read about these women who are all connected by knitting classes they have taken at The Good Yarn. "
— Jeanne, 2/14/2014" Let me preface my review with the circumstance under which I came to own the audiobook of "Back on Blossom Street.". I was at Sam's Club with my mom on the day I planned to make a solo journey of 362 miles from my Mom's house to my current location. I love a good audiobook to accompany me on the 6 hour drive. The selection was poor - lots of JD Robb and Danielle Steel. I don't mind either author, but wanted something more than what they had to offer. I was ready to walk away when my mother exclaimed, "I love Debbie Macomber! I will buy that one for you if you bring it back next time you come.". Well, what kind of idiot turns down a free book? So there I was, driving, listening to Lydia Getz tell me all about her yarn store and the ladies knitting group. It started out all right, but quickly moved into the cliched and prescribed narrative I expected from a book that was $6.96 at the Sam's Club. It wasn't groundbreaking, it didn't push me to think, and the reader's voice made all the characters sound as though they were impersonating Katherine Hepburn. It's 5 hours I won't get back, but at least I had some company on the long drive home. "
— April, 2/14/2014" As always Debbie Macomber cannot fail. Her books are refreshing, clean and romantic. "
— Clara, 2/13/2014" just continuing with the characters. Nice story "
— Leslie, 2/12/2014" Picked this up at the paperback exchange at my local library and didn't realize it was number 4 in a series. Will look for the first 3 books soon as I liked the characters and the writing style. "
— Deb, 2/9/2014" Another great book about the women of Blossom Street. "
— Katrina, 2/2/2014" Not my favorite Blossom Street book, but still a good read. I like Macomber's characters as a rule - women who could be the people next door, facing challenges we could all face. "
— Stephani, 1/21/2014" These books are an easy read,a perfect august read. I like how each character has their own chapter and each character has a problem to solve. Debbie has an inspirational message. "
— Cindy, 1/15/2014" So glad she wrote a 3rd book in this series! There may be another coming? Not sure, but if there is, I will defionatley read it. "
— Jen, 1/12/2014" If I hadn't read the other two Blossom Street books and a couple of her other books I might have liked this one more. But I'm tired of seeing the same women in the same plots with the same solutions. "
— M, 1/8/2014" A good story, but her writing repeats far too often. I wish editors would do a better job of catching these mistakes. "
— Gabrielle, 12/11/2013" Light read - enjoyable, made me want to read the first two of a semi-series. Fun if you like to knit as the author puts in the directions for the project the yarn shoping is working on during the story. "

— T.L., 12/2/2010" This is the third of a series about a yarn store. I've read the other two. It's fun to get to know the characters and follow them in each book. She also includes knitting patterns. I did not like this series as much as the others. "
— Arlene, 10/12/2010" I really liked this book. I ate it up quicker then the first book that I read by Debbie Macomber, A Good Yarn. She writes well. Her characters are diverse and interesting. I'll read more of her booksd in the future. "
