Editorial Review:
What do you want most in the world?Anne Marie Roche wants to find happiness again. At 38 her life s not what she d expected--she s childless, a recent widow, alone. She owns a successful bookstore on Seattle s Blossom Street, but despite her accomplishments, there s a feeling of emptiness.On Valentine s Day, Anne Marie and several other widows get together to celebrate...what? Hope, possibility, the future. They each begin a list of twenty wishes, things they always wanted to do but never did. Anne Marie s list starts with: Find one good thing about life. It includes learning to knit, doing good for someone else, falling in love again. She begins to act on her wishes and when she volunteers at a local school, an eight-year-old girl named Ellen enters her life. It s a relationship that becomes far more involving than Anne Marie intended. It also becomes far more important than she ever imagined. As Ellen helps Anne Marie complete her list of twenty wishes, they both learn that wishes can come true--but not necessarily in the way you expect.As millions of women know, Debbie Macomber understands their lives and writes the stories they want to read.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Twenty Wishes(Blossom Street #4) by Debbie Macomber
I found this book to be another great one in the Blossom Street series. Now waiting for No. 5! Hopefully there will be one and very soon. I love the way the author brings in new characters, along with all the old ones from each previous book in the series. Definitely could read each book all on it's own but oh so much more enjoyable when you read the whole series.
I also share these women's and the author's passion for yarn and knitting. I only wish they were real and the A Good Yarn ... Read More
Rating:  - Heartfelt Wishes can be Beautiful!!

Anne Marie is a thirty-eight year old widow finding it difficult to escape the depression brought upon by her husband's death, and the knowledge that he cheated on her - add poignancy to the fact ... Read More
Rating:  - Great Idea, but Some Characters Need Development
JT (San Diego, Ca)
I loved the concept but I felt it unnecessary to have so many characters. The ending was a little predictable, but the book was in general. Still, a nice read that makes you think about making your own list.
Rating: - Relaxing, Enjoyable Reading
Curl up on the couch a rainy day, or in a beach chair at the shore, or in front of the fireplace, because this book will transport you to a very pleasant place: Blossom Street in Seattle. If you've read any of Debbie's recent books, you may recognize some of the familiar characters from Blossom Street. But this novel can definitely stand on its own. Anne Marie is a thirtysomething widow and owner of Blossom Street Books. She and some friends get together one day, and each person decides to make a ... Read More

Anne Marie Roche is floundering. After the recent loss of her estranged husband, she has no family except her beloved dog.
