Twenty Wishes


Twenty Wishes is the latest Blossom Street book and this one features Anne Marie Roche, owner of the Blossom Street Bookstore and some of the other women who frequent the yarn store. The story begins with a meeting of 4 widows who decide they need to create a list of 20 wishes to give them a focus and something to dream about. In her typical fashion Macomber weaves together the stories of Lillie Higgins and her daughter Barbie and friend Elise Beaumont. Anne Marie becomes involved with a school lunch buddy program and "adopts" Ellen, Lillie meets a mechanic and Barbie becomes involved with a difficult paraplegic. Of course the stories all end happily and many of the wishes are fulfilled.
