Resumen del Editor

There's a little shop on Blossom Street in Seattle called A Good Yarn. You go there to buy knitting supplies and patterns, and now it's offering a knitting class. The first lesson: how to knit a baby blanket.

For owner Lydia Hoffman, the shop represents her dream of beginning a new life free from the cancer that has ravaged her twice. A life that offers a chance at love, and maybe marriage.

Jacqueline Donovan is stuck in a marriage that has dwindled into an arrangement of separate rooms and separate lives. She disapproves of the woman married to her only son, but if she knits a baby blanket, she can at least pretend to like her pregnant daughter-in-law.

For Carol Girard, the baby blanket brings a message of hope as she and her husband make a final attempt at in vitro pregnancy.

And tense-looking Alix Townsend, that's Alix with an "i", is learning to knit her blanket for her court-ordered community service project.

Brought together by an age-old craft, these four women make unexpected discoveries, about themselves and each other. Discoveries that lead to love, to friendship and acceptance, to laughter and dreams.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Clearly capturing each woman as she supports the others and searches for the answers to her own troubles, Emond outdoes herself in portraying counterculture proponent Alix....The warmth of Emond's voice so embodies the tenacious characters as to deliver a worthwhile story of change and hope." (AudioFile)

Debbie Macombre...

...has this way of bringing her characters to life in her writing. I love how I can plug in my earbuds and pretend to be in Seattle while I'm sweating it out on the treadmill in Georgia. Thank you for the endless hours of listening pleasure. Your books are music to my ears.

A Good Yarn, A Good Listen

The story was great, as usual. I truly enjoy Debbie Macomber's stories. I didn't care for the music in between the chapters.

Great story

Loved reading this book, only wish it was longer. Can’t wait to go onto the next in this series.

another wonderful Debbie Macomber Book

This has been one of my favorite books from Debbie. Nothing droned on and on repeatedly as some of her books do, had a variety of characters you don't get bored with. Narrator was great. Good story line with many things happening, but not in a confusing way. I could have done without the chiming between chapters but not a deal breaker. Also the length of the book was perfect.

Lives Intertwined

This was a wonderful book. I could relate with this book on different levels. I currently attend a Knitting Group (Stitch Angels) on Fridays. We are just women that came together to knit/crochet for charity.I listened to this in one sitting while crocheting a Mobius Infinite Wrap for my Pastor's wife who is currently undergoing radiation treatment for cancer. The storyline was wonderful. I loved the characters' growth, and interactions. Some real life situations intertwined with somewhat realistic endings. I love Debbie Macomber's writing, and Linda Emond's performance. I highly recommend this story.

True friendship

Characters seemed real and the story could have been true. Easy to listening and good ending.

The Ship on Blossom Street

This was an awesome boook. Being a new knitter, her series has been recommended to me and I am exicted to begin another! Happy Reading to all!

loved it! a real FEEL GOOD book!

looking forward to the sequel, love Debbie macomber books! thank you very much!!!! buh bye

Nice story of friendship...

Easy listening; easy-to-follow plot. Fix a cup of coffee/tea and listen while you knit. (Note that knitting knowledge is not essential to enjoy this story!)

Blossom Street

I enjoyed this as much as the previous stories on Blossom Street,
