Welcome Return to Blossom Street

Ever since she opened her yarn shop, Lydia Goetz has held knitting classes there. This time around three people are taking her class on knitting a prayer shawl: Alix Townsend, Susannah Nelson, and Colette Blake. Both Alix and Colette hope the class will help take their mind off of things - Alix is trying to keep her marriage plans under control and Colette is dealing with the loss of her husband and the consequences of a brief affair with her (ex) boss. Lydia has her own worries - her niece Julia was injured in a car jacking and Lydia's sister Margaret (Julia's mother) is not handling it well. They all have problems but the women on Blossom Street know they can rely on each other for support.

"Back on Blossom Street" is the third book in Debbie Macomber's delightful Blossom Street series (the first two are The Shop on Blossom Street (The Knitting Books #1) and A Good Yarn (The Knitting Books #2)). Macomber's books are like soap operas on paper (light, fluffy, but addicting) and "Back on Blossom Street" doesn't disappoint. The book alternates chapters focusing on three of the characters: Lydia (told in the first person) and Colette and Alix (both told in the third person). Of the three, I liked Lydia's story the best as she watches her family struggle to deal with the aftereffects of a brutal crime. Margaret's reaction is very real, as she wants revenge against the man that hurt her daughter. Lydia and Margaret's struggle to deal with their aging mother is all too real and heartbreaking. My next favorite story line was Alix's - her letting her good friend Jacqueline and soon to be mother-in-law Susan take over her wedding plans is a cliched plot line but fun to read just to see if Alix finally puts her foot down. I found Colette's plot line to be the least believable for a number of reasons I can't explain without ruining the plot (let's just say she's bad at communicating). Her reason for running away never really worked for me. I was hoping that the introduction of a possible suitor for Colette would open up a mystery plot, but that never happened. Colette's plot had some good points, but never really worked for me.

"Back on Blossom Street" brings back some old friends and introduces some new ones, making for a pleasant read. Well done.

Same old, same old

Very cliche. There are way too many storylines and characters packed into one book. Then suddenly the last chapter seems to wrap up the lives of all the characters to bring it to an abrupt end. Very soap operish if you like that kind of thing. All with a sweet happy ending to everyone's lives.


A nice book - even better if you read the 2 before!

I read the first 2 books and wasn't sure that a 3rd book was appealing to me.

To my pleasant surprise the author puts enought twists in this book to make it well worth reading. I like the way she weaves the characters together in a believable way...I want to take a class there!!!!

Blossom Street where you'll find everything you're looking for! From yarn and flowers to friendshipÂ?

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 an assistant named Colette Blake, a young widow who's obviously hiding a secret or two.

When Susannah and Colette both join Lydia Goetz's new knitting class, they discover that Lydia and her sister, Margaret, have worries of their own. Margaret's daughter, Julia, is the victim of a random carjacking, and the entire family is thrown into emotional chaos.

Then there's Alix Townsend, whose wedding is only months away. She's not sure she can go through with it, though. A reception at the country club, with hundreds of guests she's never met it's just not Alix. But, like everyone else in Lydia's knitting class, she knows there's a solution to every problemÂ? and that another woman can usually help you find it!
