Summer on Blossom Street


Summer on Blossom Street

Debbie Macomber

4 out of 5


Of all of Debbie's series, I enjoy this one the best. Many of her other books make the women sound like whiny victims, but the voices on Blossom Street, are much stronger and more in control of their lives. Something that is very lacking in much of women's fiction.

Like the other books in this series, the comings and goings of enjoyable characters keeps me coming back. Book six takes us once again to the quilt shop where Lydia hosts a Knit to Quit class. This class if for people looking to quit something or maybe even someone.

With new characters and the reappearance of likable familiar ones, once again Macomber entwines just enough new with old and moves these woman forward into surprising new directions. Though each woman, and a man, move at their own pace, they are always brought back to where they need to be, whether it be expanding their horizons or knowing that home is always the best place to be, the women of Blossom Street are there for each other and on occasion bring new and exciting people with them on their journey.

This is a great series, I need to read this one too.

Have you read Robyn Carr yet? if not, I recommend you do. I love her books (Grace Valley trilogy and so far the Virgin River series) more than the Blossom Street books, and I do love the Blossom street books.
