The Shop on Blossom Street

By: Debbie Macomber

Narrated by: Linda Edmond

Four lives knit together…

There's a little shop on Blossom Street in Seattle called A Good Yarn. You go there to buy knitting supplies and patterns -- and now it's offering a knitting class. The first lesson: how to knit a baby blanket.

For owner Lydia Hoffman, the shop represents her dream of beginning a new life free from the cancer that has ravaged her twice. A life that offers a chance at love ... and maybe marriage.

Jacqueline Donovan is stuck in a marriage that has dwindled into an arrangement of separate rooms and separate lives. She disapproves of the woman married to her only son, but if she knits a baby blanket, she can at least pretend to like her pregnant daughter-in-law.

For Carol Girard, the baby blanket brings a message of hope as she and her husband make a final attempt at in vitro pregnancy.

And tense-looking Alix Townsend -- that's Alix with an ""i"" -- is learning to knit her blanket for her court-ordered community service project.

Brought together by an age-old craft, these four women make unexpected discoveries -- about themselves and each other. Discoveries that lead to love, to friendship and acceptance, to laughter and dreams.

Blossom Street

I enjoyed this as much as the previous stories on Blossom Street,

Loved it...

I truly enjoyed this book. I hope there is more coming...

Book #1-Loved it!

Loved the story line and how all walks of life come together for 1 common cause, knitting!

Genuine and heartwarming

Great read, good performance, captivating story. Short but really great. I’ve read this one IRL and loved it. The only thing I didn’t like was the author and narrator’s portrayal of a character from New Orleans; neither author or narrator seems to know what that accent or dialect is, I.e. having her say “well I declare.” Wrong part of the country lol

Debbie Macombre...

...has this way of bringing her characters to life in her writing. I love how I can plug in my earbuds and pretend to be in Seattle while I'm sweating it out on the treadmill in Georgia. Thank you for the endless hours of listening pleasure. Your books are music to my ears.
