Susan Herbert

This is a real time story written by the career woman's perspective.

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2017

Outstanding and particular attractive to school teachers and kind people everywhere. The story is real. a big city lawyer kept seeing this child at a stop on her walk to her corporate work. She started making sandwiches to give him when she walked by as he attempted panhandling for $ for food. At some point their regular encounter became more personal. He wouldn't take money because his mom was an addict with quite a few children. Food was scarce. (They were living in an apartment with 1 bread winner-Their mother)

The relationship between the unmarried career woman and the little boy who needed someone to inspire him.
She willingly met his mother whose concerns were never the real truth of her addicted body. His siblings learned to deal, etc. . . Eventually, she invited him to her house and he saw life as he wished his could be. Usually there encounters were a meal away from home for both. Such an inspiring story.

Special Relationships

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2010

A Thread So Thin, the third book in the Cobbled Court series, by Marie Bostwick is delightful as the first two were. As a quilter, I love all the parts about the quilt shop, the special relationship of the friends in their Friday night quilting club, and the setting of the story in Connecticut. The author has an understanding of the American work ethic and of the values that have been a part of making this country who its people are. Liza, one of the characters of the book, has grown and changed from the first book to this one from a rebellious adolescent to a mature young woman because of her relationship with the other characters who live the American work ethic and good values so naturally. There are also other characters who have become solid citizens because of the caring people who have accepted them and given them a chance to overcome problems in their lives. I appreciate Marie Bostwick so much and am so grateful that I found her books. I now own every book that she has written.

This story is full of doubt, friendship, and love. Lots of twists in relationships, friends, relatives, and loving friendships. Most with surprising endings. I enjoyed this book a lot, and look forward to the next book in the series.

Weddings and life changes at Cobbled Court

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2012

Verified Purchase

The third book in the Cobbled Court series revolves primarily around Lisa. She is shocked when a fancy night out leads to a proposal. While she initially turns down Garrett, she does give in and withdraws into herself. While Evelyn is worried about them being to young, she doesn't say anything about it after Lisa hears her initial dismay. Also out of character is Abigail's way over the top response to create the wedding of the century and her bullying ways.Also worrying Lisa is the opportunity to work at a museum in Chicago which she keeps secret. Evelyn is contending with a continued proposal of her own. The out of character behavior was grating through a good portion of the book, although the author was able to turn things around by the end where each character gets back to a more normal state with many changes in their lives.

Hooked for life. What a beautiful line of books

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2015

I can't seem to get enough of these heartwarming stories. They hit real life problems without being to mushy or to sweet. You can pick a favorite but I find that very hard. Everyone is so special that you find your pushing for the correct door to open and make everyone's problems go away. All is handled beautifully but gets into some real life up's and downs. I am reading number 6 now, do hope the author is writing fast because I'm getting ready for the next six. I've never been one to get hooked on just one story line before but these books draw you in.

Love the characters ...

Love the characters, their relationships and altho not a quilter, am pretty much into the crafts/cozy genre.
As an almost 60, I like o read books with my age range characters. I like to see them with a full range of relationships and Bostwick does a great job with this. The relationship of the main characters and their families and each other are rich and wide ranging.
I read these books from the library and enjoyed them so much I decided to invest and add them to my in home library.

This novel has plenty of interesting characters and a story that holds the attention of the reader. There is plenty of quilting as well as friendship, support and a return of some characters from earl novels in the Cobbled Court series.

Cobbled Court #3

Reviewed in Germany on December 30, 2013

A Thread So Thin is the third book in the Cobbled Court series by Marie Bostwick. All the stories have something to do about quilting, but the main aspect of the stories are the amazing friendships that blossom and are definded over and over again.

In this third book Evelyn son Garrett proposes to Liza. The way that each character reacts to the proposal is unique and is what makes the book interesting and unputdownable.

When I read a book I look at the characters. Marie Bostwick has very believable characters, ones that draw me int to the story. And even athough they are really believable, there is always a small surprise that I didn't expect, making it even harder to put down her books.

I am only giving four stars to this story as I did find that Abbigail was a tiny bit too much, so that it irritated me, and I felt that the story didn't flow quite as well.
