Come back to Blossom Street! Join #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber for this hopeful story of enduring friendship and starting over. What do you want most in the world? What Anne Marie Roche wants is to find happiness again. At thirty-eight, she’s childless, a recent widow. She owns a successful bookstore on Seattle’s Blossom Street, but despite her accomplishments, there’s a … there’s a feeling of emptiness.
On Valentine’s Day, Anne Marie and several other widows get together to celebrate…a sense of hope. They each begin a list of twenty wishes–including things they’d always wanted to do but never did.
Some of the items on Anne Marie’s list: learning to knit, falling in love again, doing good for someone else. 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–and far more important–than Anne Marie had ever imagined.
As Ellen helps Anne Marie complete her list, they both learn that wishes can come true…but not necessarily in the way you expect!

Heartwarming
I like books with children AND dogs. This was a winner.

This is another of Debbie Macomber’s great Blossom Street novels. I’m ready to start my own twenty wishes after reading this.
Everything. One of my favorite authors
An interesting story line, enjoyable to read.
Good characters, story. Pace is important to me and this moved along fairly well. Of course I began to reflect on my own wish list which is fun in this Covid season. It is a quick read which is nice when you have a ‘stack’ of books in your Kindle
I liked this book. Four widows make a list of wishes and some of them came true.
It hit on several emotions, making it a great read
Inspiring book. I liked how the 20 wishes inspired people to look at life differently.
Feel good reading!
I enjoyed the great characters each with different challenges but all looking for the elusive happiness.
