Leaving Lydia's knitting shop in Seattle behind, three of Macomber's "Blossom Street" characters hit the road. Bethanne Hamlin, who originally joined the first knitting class at a Good Yarn to recover from her painful divorce, takes her daughter, Annie, and Ruth, her former mother-in-law, to Florida so Ruth can attend a 50th high school reunion. Bethanne is conflicted about possibly reuniting with her ex-husband, Annie has boyfriend problems, and longtime widow Ruth harbors a secret fantasy about reigniting a romance with an old flame from her teenage years. Macomber doesn't give us anything new here, and maybe that's part of the charm of her stories and the reason for her continued popularity. The women have the usual series of setbacks, grumblings, and aggravations on the journey, but behind it all is a genuine caring and concern for one another as they ultimately decide in what direction to take their lives. Verdict Fans of Macomber's knitting series, which began with The Shop on Blossom Street, won't be disappointed in the seventh title, although actual knitting does take a backseat this time out. Readers who want their knitting fix can check out Macomber's companion volume, Knit Along with Debbie Macomber: A Turn in the Road.-Margaret Hanes, Civic Ctr. Lib., Warren, MI (c) Copyright 2011.

Perennial bestseller Macomber serves up another heartwarming entry in her popular Blossom Street series (Hannah's List, Summer on Blossom Street). Bethanne Hamlin's ex-husband, Grant, wants them to reunite, but Bethanne isn't sure she can ever trust Grant again, since his infidelity destroyed their marriage. On a whim, Bethanne agrees to go on a road trip with her daughter, Annie, and Grant's mother, Ruth, who's driving across the country to attend her 50th high school reunion and hopefully connect with a lost love. Along the way, Bethanne meets Max Scranton, a mysterious biker with a painful past. Bethanne feels an instant, undeniable connection to Max and longs to follow her heart, but everyone else wants her to get back together with comfortable, familiar Grant. Themes of forgiving old hurts and finding new love will resonate with readers in search of a gently romantic tale. (May)
