Return to Flower Street

The store "Guiding Thread" on Flower Street has become a kind of club for women who are passionate about knitting. While engaged in their crafts, they discuss their plans and problems, support each other in difficult times, contemplate new patterns, and important events in their lives. Alika is getting married for love, but her fiancé's behavior makes her wonder if she is needed by him. Lydia's sister, Margaret, is desperately worried about her daughter, Colette is in love but does not want to admit it even to herself. They all hurry to "Guiding Thread," knowing that their favorite pastime and friendly support await them there. Lydia is happy; this is exactly how she dreamed of seeing her store.
And, of course, Debbie Macomber offers a detailed description of two shawl options that the heroines of her novel are working on, a simple warm one and a more complex, lacy one.
