Book Description |
|
There's a little yarn shop on Blossom Street in Seattle. It's owned by Lydia Hoffman, and it represents her dream of a new life free from cancer. A life that offers a chance at love . . . Lydia teaches knitting to beginners, and the first class is "How to Make a Baby Blanket." Three women join. Jacqueline Donovan wants to knit something for her grandchild as a gesture of reconciliation with her daughter-in-law. Carol Girard feels that the baby blanket is a message of hope as she makes a final attempt to conceive. And Alix Townsend is knitting her blanket for a court-ordered community service project. These four very different women, brought together by an age-old craft, make unexpected discoveries -- about themselves and each other. Discoveries that lead to friendship and more . . . |

The Shop on Blossom Street |
|
No surprises here - just predictable, but very feel good story. This was my first time with the author and I probably won't follow her closely, as I do some, but next time I want something light and comforting, I would get another of the "shop" stories. |

Lydia Hoffman is a twice cancer survival who ownes the knit shop A Good Yarn. Through the courage of setting up the shop, she learn to live again.
Jacqueline Donovan, a rich socialite, estranged from her husband, joined the knitting class to knit a baby blanket for her soon to be born grandchild, whoes mother she does not approve of.
Carol Girand is hoping that the baby blanket brings with it the baby she so yearned for, having failed IVF twice.
Alix Townsend, the punk haired problem video shop girl joined the class as she has a court ordered community project to fulfill.

One may just pick up knitting after reading this book.
