About the Book

Without dropping a stitch, Debbie Macomber extends her Blossom Street series with this third heartwarming entry, set around a class at A Good Yarn, where a small
group of women also work through critical turning points in their lives. The class specializes in prayer shawls (patterns and instruction included), which are
designed to give emotional comfort, much like Macomber's books.
There's Lydia, the proprietor of the store along with her sister, Margaret. Their mother is failing, and for once, Lydia is not the first to notice. Margaret's
daughter, Julia, becomes the victim of a carjacking, but it's the aftermath that seems the hardest -- neither Margaret nor Julia can deal with it. Susannah Nelson,
who has just opened the flower shop next door, is a new entry to the class, as is her young helper, Colette Blake. Colette's husband was killed a year ago; now she's
fighting her attraction to an ex-boss with a mysterious (or is it criminal?) connection to China. Last, there's Alix Towsend, who can't believe she's going to marry
Jordan Turner, the local pastor, but her future mother-in-law's plans for a very big wedding are giving her second thoughts.
Bolstered by the group, these women work through their various issues, with a few changes of heart and some mysteries uncovered by the final page.
