Starting Now, book #48

Ahh...the final Blossom Street Novel.  At least that I know of!!  This one was just published this year so I don't know if she is working on another one or not, but it has been a nice ride in Seattle.  

This has been not my favorite book in the series, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.  It was interesting because the male main character was a doctor who spent too much time at the hospital in an effort to "run away" from his problems at home, just like the one in the last book I read.  I have enjoyed this series and reading Debbie's works.  It makes me want to move on to other books she has written, but then all those other books sitting on my nightstand would *never* get read!!!  

Truthfully I need to take a reading break to work on other projects, but I may wait until I at least hit 50 books.  Hhm....

Debbie Macomber returns to Seattle’s beloved Blossom Street in this heartfelt tale of friendship, renewal, and discovering what’s truly important in life.

For years Libby Morgan dreamed only of making partner in her competitive, high-pressure law firm. She sacrificed everything for her career—her friends, her marriage, her chance at creating a family. When her boss calls Libby into his office, she assumes it will finally be good news, but nothing can prepare her for the shocking reality: She’s been let go and must rebuild her entire life . . . starting now.

With no job prospects in sight, Libby reaches out to old friends and spends her afternoons at A Good Yarn, the local knitting store. There she forms a close bond with Lydia, the sweet-natured shop owner; Lydia’s spirited teenage daughter, Casey; and Casey’s best friend, Ava, a shy yet troubled girl who will shape Libby’s future in surprising and profound ways.

As A Good Yarn becomes a second home—and the women a new kind of family—Libby relishes the different person she’s become. She even finds time for romance with a charming and handsome doctor who seems to be her perfect match. But just as everything is coming together, Libby must make a choice that could forever change the life she holds so dear.

Warmly told and richly textured, Starting Now is filled with the promise of new beginnings and the unending delights of companionship and love. (picture and description from amazon.com)
