„Minu kallis Michael, ma tean, et see kiri tuleb Sulle šokina…”
Oma armastatud naise surma-aastapäeval saab doktor Michael Everett kirja, mille Hannah on talle aasta eest kirjutanud.
Selles kinnitab naine talle oma armastust ja esitab viimse palve. Ühe võimatu palve. Ta tahab, et mees uuesti abielluks. Ta ütleb mehele, et too ei peaks järelejäänud aastaid leinates veetma ja ta on selleks välja valinud kolm naist, keda ta mehel kaaluda palub.
Esimesena on Hannah’ nimekirjas tema nõbu Winter Adams, kokk, kellele kuulub kohvik Seattle’is Blossom Streetil. Teine on Leanne Lancaster, Hannah’ onkoloogiaõde. Michael tunneb neid mõlemaid. Aga kolmas nimi on tema jaoks täiesti võõras – Macy Roth.
Järgnevate kuude jooksul veedab ta aega kõigi kolme naisega, nende… ja ka iseenda kohta rohkem teada saades.
Tagasi Blossom Streetile. Blossom Street, 4. raamat
Kus löövad õitsele armastus ja sõprus…
BLOSSOM STREET. Kust sa leiad kõike, mida otsid! Lõngast ja lilledest sõpruseni välja…
Seattle’is Blossom Streetil on uus lillepood, mille nimi on Susannah’s Garden, kohe A Good Yarni kõrval. Susannah Nelson, äri omanik, on äsja palganud abilise nimega Colette Blake. See noor lesknaine varjab ilmselgelt üht saladust – või siis kaht!
Kui Susannah ja Colette mõlemad Lydia Goetzi uue kudumiskursusega ühinevad, avastavad nad, et Lydial ja tema õel Margaretil on omad mured. Margareti tütar Julia langeb juhusliku autoröövi ohvriks ning kogu peret on haaranud emotsionaalne kaos.
Alix Townsendi pulmad on ainult mõne kuu kaugusel. Kuid ta ei ole kindel, kas suudab selle läbi teha. Vastuvõtt maaklubis sadade külalistega, keda ta ei ole kunagi varem kohanud.
Suvi Blossom Streetil. Blossom Street, 6. raamat
Ühe asja lõpp on teise algus…
Kudumine ja elu
Need seisnevad mõlemad alustamistes… ja lõpetamistes. Sellepärast pakub Lydia Goetz, Seattle’is Blossom Streetil asuva A Good Yarni lõngapoe omanik, kudumiskursust nimega „Koo, et loobuda”. See on inimestele, kes tahavad millestki – või kellestki – loobuda ja oma elus uue etapiga alustada.
Esimene, kes sellega liitub, on Phoebe Rylander, kes üritab üle saada ühest mehest. Alix Turner ja tema abikaasa tahavad saada last, seega tuleb naisel loobuda suitsetamisest. Ja Bryan Hutchinson vajab moodust, kuidas perefirma juhtimisega kaasneva stressiga hakkama saada.
Siis on veel Lydia sõbranna Anne Marie Roche. Tema ja ta lapsendatud tütar Ellen on lõpuks saavutanud turvalise ja õnneliku elurütmi… kuni saabub üks võõras ja hakkab küsimusi esitama.
Kauplus Blossom Streetil. Blossom Street, 1. raamat
Neli kokku põimunud elu…
Seattle'is on väike lõngapood A Good Yarn. Selle omanik on Lydia Hoffman ja kauplus on märk tema unistusest uuest, vähivabast elust. Elust, mis pakub võimalust armastada…
Lydia õpetab algajatele kudumist ja esimese kursuse teema on „Kuidas kududa beebitekki?". Kursustele tuleb kolm naist. Jacqueline Donovan ei ole rahul naisega, kellega tema ainus poeg abiellus, aga beebiteki kudumine oleks lepituseks.
Carol Girardi jaoks peitub lapsetekis lootusesõnum, kui tema ja ta abikaasa teevad viimase katse last saada.
Ja karmi välimusega Alix Townsend (Alix, kirjutatakse i-ga) õpib tekki kuduma, sest kohus on määranud talle ühiskondlikult kasuliku töö.
Need neli väga erinevat naist, kelle on kokku toonud iidne käsitööoskus, teevad ootamatuid avastusi – nii enda kui teiste kohta.
