 A heart felt thought provoking return to Blossom Stree May 6, 2008
9 out of 16 found this review helpful
In Seattle thirty-eight years old Blossom Street Books owner Anne Marie Roche grieves the loss of her husband Robert who recently died. They had no children together though he left behind two adult offspring from his first marriage. Ironically they were separated seven months at the time of his demise, but Anne Marie cannot move past her loss; blaming herself in some ways.
Anne Marie and her friends celebrate Valentine's Day together when she thinks about creating a list of things she wants to do but never has. Her friends do likewise as does eight year old Ellen Falk, her "Lunch Buddy", a Woodrow Wilson Elementary School child she mentors like a Big Sister. Instead of performing her list, Anne Marie decides to make Ellen's TWENTY WISHES come true.
It takes a village to raise a child as Debbie Macomber affirms with this heart felt thought provoking return to Blossom Street. The relationship between the Lunch Buddies is fabulously developed so that the adult gets as much or more from it than the child. Fans of character driven tales will want Ellen's TWENTY WISHES especially one in particular to come true.

I've read several of Debbie Macomber's books, and especially love the Blossom Street series. I've been to Seattle several times and feel like I'm revisiting every time I pick up one of these books.
The idea of wish-fulfillment intrigues me...and as another reviewer put it, it's kind of like a "Bucket List". But in the book, the wishes were realistic enough that they could be fulfilled. They were not outside the realm of possibility. But the interesting part was how the wish fulfillment had a slight twist. For example, a wish for "love" turned into something totally unpredictable. Love takes many forms and sometimes it isn't romantic love we get when we make this wish.
I was reading this book during my visit to LA to attend Book Expo America and actually saw Debbie Macomber signing her books! Her line was too long and I had to get ready to sign my own book, so I only met her "from afar".
Kudos, Debbie!

"Twenty Wishes" was a great book. It was a page turner that I couldn't, or wanted to, put down. It was filled with hope and love. Debbie Macomber has done it again. She's made me want to start my own list!

I've read almost all of Debbie's books and I believe this to be the very best. It has all of the heart and soul you've come to expect in a Debbie Macomber book, and if you've liked her books in the past, you will love this one. I absolutely recommend it to every woman who reads to feel uplifted and just a little bit better about life. If you read it, I bet you'll be making your own wish list as soon as you finish the last page.
