Come to Seattle's Blossom Street and make new friends!
The first three books in the popular series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.
The Shop on Blossom Street is owned by Lydia Hoffman, and it represents her dream of a new beginning, a life free from cancer. A life that offers a chance at love… When Lydia starts a knitting class at A Good Yarn, Jacqueline Donovan, Carol Girard and Alix Townsend join her first class. These four very different women, brought together by the age-old craft of knitting, make unexpected discoveries—about themselves and each other. Discoveries that lead to friendship, to laughter and to dreams…
A Good Yarn is a place of welcome and warmth, friends old and new. Lydia has fallen in love with Brad Goetz, but then Brad's ex reappears, and Lydia is suddenly afraid to trust her newfound happiness. Meanwhile, three women join her newest class—Elise Beaumont, Bethanne Hamlin and Courtney Pulanski. And "soon an unbreakable bond is formed among the knitters in this poignant story of real women with real problems becoming real friends." —Booklist
Susannah's Garden becomes a new destination on Blossom Street. When Susannah Nelson turned eighteen, she said goodbye to her boyfriend Jake—and never saw him again. She never saw her brother Doug again, either. He died unexpectedly that same year. Now, at fifty, Susannah returns to her hometown to help her mother, and discovers that things are not always as they once seemed…

I am a Debbie Macomber fan and have read many of her books. Susannah's Garden has romance, mystery, friendship and a wonderful ending. Carolyn's not knowing the identity of....is a bit of a stretch ( won't say whom so as not to ruin the story for others.) It really didn't detract from the storyline. All in all, an exceptional read!
Lydia opens a yarn shop on Blossom Street during construction. Great character building, friendships and family. I really like the intertwined sub plots going on with the other characters. Second book, more adventures, new characters introduced, old characters enhanced. Well written. Easy read, love the series. Third book, Susannah's story, her aging mother, almost twenty daughter with a dramatic flare. Age old regrets, hurt feelings and resentment overwhelm Suzannah. Well written, great character descriptions.
This is my favorite series from Debbie Macomber. I really like Cedar Cove, like the stand alones, not a fan of the older romances, and love all things from Blossom Street. You will love the knitting store and be inspired to learn how to knit. It's like having a comfortable group of friends to connect with over and over. And you will start to knit along with them. :)
I love the quaint realistic piece of Seattle called Blossom Street. The characters' lives knit together (pun intended) so flawlessly and there are twists and turns that I wasn't quite able to predict.
Enjoyed this mix of people that became friends that probably never would have even met each other if it wasn't for "there's a little yarn store in Seattle- opening at a Lydia's dream of a new life free from cancer. A life that offers a chance at love..."
Read all books in the Blossom St series, except Susannah's Garden...just couldn't get on with it and felt it didn't impact the books that followed in the series.
