Though stilted dialogue can pull readers out of the moment, Macomber's assured storytelling and affirming narrative is as welcoming as your favorite easy chair.

Elise mainly serves as a catalyst for Anne Marie's journey, but there is plenty of focus on Lillian and Barbie, who find purpose in unexpected and difficult relationships. Anne Marie, meanwhile, must deal with the reappearance of her adult stepdaughter, Melissa, who always held her in disdain. With Elise's prodding, Anne Marie decides to fulfill one of her wishes-do good for someone else-and becomes a “lunch buddy” to an at-risk third grader. Together, the four make life-fulfillment wish lists. Elise Beaumont entered widowhood after cancer claimed her husband. Lillie Higgins lost her husband in the same plane crash that claimed the husband of their daughter, Barbie Foster.

Separated from her husband after he refused to have a baby with her, Anne Marie felt certain they would reconcile-until he suddenly died. (and others) for a hopeful tale of four widows who meet at 38-year-old Anne Marie Roche's bookstore. Macomber returns to Seattle's fictional Blossom Street of A Good Yarn True Story can be one of the options to accompany you considering having new.
