Blurb: (from the back of the book) "There's a little yarn shop on Blossom Street in Seattle. It's owned by Lydia Hoffman, and it represents her dream of a new life free from cancer. A life that offers a chance at love...
"Lydia teaches knitting to beginners, and the first class is 'How to Make a Baby Blanket.' Three women join. Jacqueline Donovan wants to knit something for her grandchild as a gesture of reconciliation with her daugher-in-law. Carol Girard feels that the baby blanket is a message of hope as she makes a final attempt to conceive. And Alix Townsend is knitting her blanket for a court-ordered community service project.
"These four very different women, brought together by an age-old craft, make unexpected discoveries-about themselves and each other. Discoveries that lead to friendship and more..."
Opinion: A great heart warming read. I've read other books by Ms. Macomber and have never been disappointed. This is certainly one of the best that I've read by her. Each chapter is dedicated to one of the 4 women and how their lives end up intertwining with each other is remarkable. I highly recommend this book.
