Summer on Blossom Street

Summer on Blossom Street is the sixth novel in Debbie Macomber's bestselling Blossom Street series, set around Lydia Goetz's knitting shop, A Good Yarn, on a quiet Seattle street. Lydia, a two-time cancer survivor, offers a new class, "Knit to Quit," for anyone hoping to quit something — or someone — and start fresh.

The class draws together Phoebe Rylander, recovering from a broken engagement to an unfaithful fiance; Alix Turner, a baker who needs to quit smoking before she and her husband can have a baby; and Bryan "Hutch" Hutchinson, trying to manage the stress of running his family's chocolate business while fending off a lawsuit. Meanwhile Lydia and her husband Brad are fostering Casey, a guarded twelve-year-old, as they wait to adopt an infant of their own, and their friend Anne Marie faces the return of her adopted daughter's birth father just as she finds a chance at new love.

As in the rest of the series, Macomber weaves these separate storylines together in the shop's knitting circle, balancing loss, grief and second chances with the warmth and hope her readers expect.
