The Shop on Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber

Debbie Macomber always tells a good story that I can get lost in.  This is the first in a new series taking place in Seattle.  We were introduced to four women from four different backgrounds.  Lydia opened up a yarn shop and is a cancer survivor.  Jaqueline is a well to do woman upset with her husband and her sons choice for a wife.  Carol desparately wants a baby.  Alix is a troubled woman just trying to figure things out.  Lydia offers a knitting class that brings all of these women together, women who would have never chosen to be friends.  I always feel a part of the story and the lives and miss them when I am finished.  I am looking forward to reading more of the series.
