Anne Marie Roche wants to find happiness again. At 38 her life s not what she d expected--she s childless, a recent widow, alone. She owns a successful bookstore on Seattle s Blossom Street, but despite her accomplishments, there s a feeling of emptiness. On Valentine s Day, Anne Marie and several other widows get together to celebrate...what? Hope, possibility, the future. They each begin a list of twenty wishes, things they always wanted to do but never did. Anne Marie s list starts with: Find one good thing about life. It includes learning to knit, doing good for someone else, falling in love again. She begins to act on her wishes and when she volunteers at a local school, an eight-year-old girl named Ellen enters her life. It s a relationship that becomes far more involving than Anne Marie intended. It also becomes far more important than she ever imagined. As Ellen helps Anne Marie complete her list of twenty wishes, they both learn that wishes can come true--but not necessarily in the way you expect. As millions of women know, Debbie Macomber understands their lives and writes the stories they want to read. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - SweetOne can always count on Debbie Macomber's books to make you feel good. She is the only romance writer whom I read (and only her knitting books) and I always feel so content when I finish one. I love the setting in Seattle, even though I have never been there - she makes me feel like I have. Her characters are realistic and well described too. Looking forward to the next already!

Rating: - Twenty WishesThe Blossom Street series is one of my favorite series by this author. She brings women together with one common thread. Literally! and again and again teaches the gift of friendship. This novel is based on a wonderful idea of 20 Wishes and brings joy and love to women who have each suffered unbearable sorrow. Rating: - Love StoryI just love reading Debbie McComber's books on Blossom Street. This was one of the greatest written. I like how she inter-twines the charaters. I have read most all the her books. |
