<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> Upbeat cancer survivor Lydia and her pragmatic sister, Margaret, start a "Knit to Quit" group in their Blossom Street yarn store in Seattle, bringing in a delightful assortment of customers for weekly self-help sessions, including a local baker who wants a baby as much as Lydia does, a super-stressed chocolate magnate who takes the knitting class after his doctor suggests it, and a young woman who is trying to quit obsessing about a broken engagement. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <strong>Knitting and life</strong> <p/>They're both about beginnings...and endings. That's why Lydia Goetz, owner of A Good Yarn on Seattle's Blossom Street, offers a class called Knit to Quit.

Alix Turner and her husband want a baby, so she has to quit smoking. And Bryan Hutchinson needs a way to deal with the stress of running his family's business. <p/>Then there's Lydia's friend Anne Marie Roche. She and her adopted daughter, Ellen, have finally settled into a secure and happy routine--when a stranger appears, asking questions. <p/>Meanwhile, Lydia and her husband, Brad, have their hands full with the angry, defiant twelve-year-old who unexpectedly becomes their foster child. <p/>But when your life and your stitches get snarled, your friends can always help! <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> Macomber adds a tear-jerking installment to the Blossom Street series with this account of lives intersecting at the series-hinging yarn store, A Good Yarn. ...Macomber deftly handles the multiple story lines and emotional terrain of families, while the predictably happy ending is very genuine. --Publishers Weekly on Summer on Blossom Street <p/>Heartwarming in the extreme.
