Anne Marie Roche wants to find happiness again. At 38 her life s not what she d expected--she s childless, a recent widow, alone. She owns a successful bookstore on Seattle s Blossom Street, but despite her accomplishments, there s a feeling of emptiness. On Valentine s Day, Anne Marie and several other widows get together to celebrate...what? Hope, possibility, the future. They each begin a list of twenty wishes, things they always wanted to do but never did. Anne Marie s list starts with: Find one good thing about life. It includes learning to knit, doing good for someone else, falling in love again. She begins to act on her wishes and when she volunteers at a local school, an eight-year-old girl named Ellen enters her life. It s a relationship that becomes far more involving than Anne Marie intended. It also becomes far more important than she ever imagined. As Ellen helps Anne Marie complete her list of twenty wishes, they both learn that wishes can come true--but not necessarily in the way you expect. As millions of women know, Debbie Macomber understands their lives and writes the stories they want to read. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Twenty WishesWonderful Book...If you are not a fan of Debbie Macomber you will be after reading this book...I would however, recommend you start from the beginning by reading The Shop on Blossom Street first and continue through the Blossom Street series until you get to Twenty Wishes...they are all great books. Rating: - I just loved this bookI just loved this book. I couldn't put it down from the moment I started to read it. I just loved the 20 wishes and could wait to find out what happend to all of the women. It makes me want to write my own list. Blossom St sound like a wonderful place to live, I would move there in a minute if it exsited. It made me feel your never to old for a new beginning. I recommend this book to any one who needs a reason to feel good. Rating: - I want to live on Blossom Street!This is my first review so please bear with me! I am a new Debbie Macomber fan and have just recently gotten into her Blossom Street books! They take me back to a time where everyone knew everyone in your neighborhood, kids could play outside and not be hurt, and the little shopping area in your town. "Twenty Wishes" is the 4th installment of the series and she is doing great keeping up with all the characters. Usually in series books they don't keep up with other characters ...

She writes novels that appeal to millions of ordinary women. So why do I think this simply delightful book could change your life? It's because she compels you to do one tiny little thing---make a list of twenty things you want to do in life. She invites you to celebrate hope, to fill that nagging void in your life, and to tell your brain the secrets of your heart. Anne Marie Roche, ...

She is the only romance writer whom I read (and only her knitting books) and I always feel so content when I finish one. I love the setting in Seattle, even though I have never been there - she makes me feel like I have. Her characters are realistic and well described too. Looking forward to the next already! |
