Susannah's Garden

This was a wonderful, caring book. It has to do with family ties and the past. The past isn't always what it seems to be.

My blog post about this book is at this link. ( )

Debbie Macomber knows how to tell a good, entertaining story that doesn’t disappoint her readers. In this novel, Susannah is plagued by things that have happened in her past and of what might have been. Couple this with caring for her increasingly forgetful mother and head-strong daughter, it becomes evident that Susannah is headed for some rough times. With a masterful hand, the author pulls us into the story. These likable characters soon seem like old friends and we are eager to discover more about them. With a bit of a mystery thrown in, this tale will keep you turning pages until the very end. ( )

This is a wonderful story of friendship, the pleasures of gradening and growing up with difficult choices and decisions. This is especially true in our middle years, as we begin to realize the parent-child relationships we have to make and those our own parents had to make.

This is the third book in the Blossom Street but unlike the earlier two, the story is away from Blossom street and that to me, this is a pre-quel of the the continuation of the Blossom Street in the next book. This book tells the story of Susannah, struggle to relocate her mother to a self assisted complex after the death of her fathr and at the same time, dealing with her own personal issues. It all started when there was recurring dreams of her first love and being back to her hometown doesnt really help her to forget. Hence, she plunged ahead to deal with the issues, by trying to locate Jake.The author has also included hints of mystery in the story where there is mystery of missing things in the house when Susannah is not around and the random placed of messages for her Overall, I find the story entertaining and i m excited to read Book #4 which will take place again in the yarn shop at Blossom street where the series first started off. ;) ( )
