1: She's definately got better books
I love Debbie Macomber...quick, feel-good reads. Out of the books I've read that she's authored, though, have to say was a bit disappointed in this one. Seems that she was trying her hand at mystery writing, but it wasn't really believable. She certainly has better books out there.

2: Okay but predictable
Not a terrible book, but the ending is pretty predictable, though they try to make it seem like some big shock. And the more the book went on, the less I liked Susannah - she purposely puts her marriage at risk for some dumb boy she dated in high school? Then she keeps a bunch of secrets from her husband, handles her daughter Chrissie's issues badly, then suddenly everything is wrapped up, and Susannah gets what she wants-- then randomly decides to open a flower shop to segway into the next book. I do feel that the author did a good job portraying the elderly mom Vivian. But I definitely don't plan to read any more of this series.

3: Another Great book by Debbie!!
I really liked this book and it ties into the Blossom Street books. Debbie is truly a gifted writer and I really enjoy her books. Can't wait to get my hands on the next in the series.

4: Might have been
Fifty year old Susannah is experiencing a kind of later, mid life crisis as she faces the prospect of choosing a care facility for her recently widowed mother, a woman who has always had decisions made for her and relied on others to make her life pleasant. Susannah's twenty year old daughter is behaving in a way that one could expect from a 14 year old, with sulks, tantrums and total selfishness and gives the reader the BIGGEST urge to slap her! When Susannah moves back with her mother to arrange the dismantling and selling of her house, she gets an urge to look up an old boyfriend, one with whom she'd had a romance which was broken up by her father and for which she'd never forgiven him. She contacts an old girl friend and together they piece together the scenario which was played out, all those years ago. Circumstances come to light which now exonerate Susannah's father and allow her to find closure to her long held bitterness about what might have been.

5: A Good Book
I enjoyed reading this book as it brought me back to someone with a link to Blossom Street. I feel as though I know all the people from the yarn shop on Blossom Street and maybe being a knitter myself may have something to do with this. I am hoping that Debbie Macomber will write another series or book involving all these characters, it was such comforting reading and books you could certainly curl up with.
Sincerely,
Barbara Montague-Myrick
