Please, don't judge me, but I am usually not a fan of non-Christian books. Granted, I've heard Debbie is a Christian and I do love her writing, but as appealing as her covers are (yes, I'm still a sucker for judging books by their cover!) I've tried to steer away from them. The last few non-Christian books I've stuck with or quit reading seemed to be full of filthy language, immoral behavior, etc and I'd just rather not fill my mind with that. (although apparently I have no trouble watching it on TV or in the movies, but that's another story!). But this book had been on my bedside for quite a while and for some reason I decided to pick it up.
Yes, it still had some stuff I wasn't entirely comfortable with, but I must say her writing style is something I really, really love. Several years ago I read the first book, The Shop on Blossom Street. When I started this book, I was surprised at how many of the characters I remembered. It was fun to "pick up" and see what happened to them. There were several plots going as always, and in the end it all turned out good.
There's a new shop on Seattle's Blossom Street—a flower store called Susannah's Garden, right next door to A Good Yarn. Susannah Nelson, the owner, has just hired an assistant named Colette Blake, a young widow who's obviously hiding a secret—or two.
When Susannah and Colette both join Lydia Goetz's new knitting class, they discover that Lydia and her sister, Margaret, have worries of their own. Margaret's daughter, Julia, is the victim of a random carjacking, and the entire family is thrown into emotional chaos.
Then there's Alix Townsend, whose wedding is only months away. She's not sure she can go through with it, though. A reception at the country club, with hundreds of guests she's never met—it's just not Alix. But, like everyone else in Lydia's knitting class, she knows there's a solution to every problem… and that another woman can usually help you find it! (pic and description from amazon.com)
