Part of Blossom Street, book 4
First published 2007
Susannah Nelson has just opened Susannah's Garden, a flower shop on Seattle's Blossom Street, next door to A Good Yarn. She hires Colette Blake as her assistant, a young widow clearly concealing secrets. Both women join Lydia Goetz's newest knitting class, where they meet others facing their own struggles. Lydia and her sister Margaret are reeling from a crisis. Margaret's daughter Julia has become the victim of a random carjacking, sending the family into turmoil. Meanwhile, Alix Townsend's wedding approaches in just months, but she questions whether she can follow through. The thought of a country club reception filled with strangers feels wrong for someone like her. As the knitting class brings these women together, they discover what Blossom Street regulars already know. Every problem has a solution, and the support of other women can help anyone find their way forward.
