Debbie Macomber came into my life by chance. I was browsing in the public library several years ago looking for a light, yet decent, book. After reading the back of the book, The Shop on Blossom Street, I was curious. So, I checked out the book, took it home, and began reading. I was captivated from page one.
Now, several books later, I am still caught up in the world on Blossom Street.
This latest installment, Summer on Blossom Street, brings to us new characters, as well as the regulars. Even though Cody regards her as “Mom,” Lydia, the main character in the series, longs for a child that she cannot have due to cancer at an early age. She and her husband, Brad, have decided to adopt an infant but are faced with a turbulent twelve-year-old. Ellen, the child adopted by Anne Marie Roche, is working on her twenty-wishes which includes getting to know her father. Talk about some twists and turns as this storyline develops! Alix Turner wants a baby but must first conquer her smoking habit…a habit that is easier to talk about breaking than actually breaking. Next, we turn to the new characters.
Phoebe Rylander has recently terminated her engagement and is trying to get over her fiance, much to the dismay of her ex-fiance and her mother. Bryan “Hutch” Hutchinson is taking up knitting to relax and bring down his blood pressure, but, unbeknownst to him, knitting is going to prove to be more challenging than being the owner of the best chocolate company in Seattle!
Join the antics on Blossom Street! You will be glad you did!
I recommend Summer on Blossom Street for those readers who are looking for some light-hearted and encouraging contemporary literature.
