Not everyone wants to read complicated novels. Sometimes bright, airy, less intense selections find their way onto our summer reading lists. Debbie Macomber's books fall into this last category. Her earlier works centered around the characters on Blossom Street, mainly a store called The Good Yarn. She returns to that same locale with some old familiar faces and a few new ones along the way.
Libby Morgan is a successful attorney in a large Seattle area law firm. However, just when she thought her tireless hours and dedication had her on track to become a partner, she finds herself unemployed due to the recession.
Remedying unemployment should be relatively easy with her credentials, but unfortunately, it is not. Idle months go by and with many hours to fill, Libby actually cultivates friendships, volunteers with infants at the local hospital, and becomes a mentor and confidante to a thirteen-year-old unwed mother with a difficult home life. Along the way, a handsome doctor (supposedly with a heart of stone) becomes an intricate part of her life.
The story lies in how Libby and Phillip manage to come to terms with their deepening love and respect for one another while Libby is still determined to succeed in her career believing she can have it all. Can Libby find that elusive balance in her life?
As a reader, you will probably guess how the story ends, but may enjoy the journey along the way. A book of friendship, faith, and compassion.
