Starting Now

Libby Morgan has spent years chasing a partnership at her demanding Seattle law firm. The price has been steep: her friendships faded, her marriage ended, and the family she once hoped for never happened. So when her boss summons her to his office, she expects a long-awaited promotion. Instead she is told she is out of a job, and she has to figure out how to build a new life from scratch.

With no leads on work, Libby gets back in touch with old friends and begins passing her afternoons at A Good Yarn, a knitting shop on Blossom Street. The owner, Lydia, is kind and generous, and her teenage daughter Casey is full of spirit. Casey's best friend Ava is shy and quietly troubled, and her presence in Libby's life turns out to matter far more than anyone could have guessed.

As the shop becomes a kind of second home and these women start to feel like family, Libby discovers she likes the person she is turning into. A charming, good-looking doctor even enters the picture, and he seems like an ideal match. Then, just when her life is finally falling into place, Libby faces a decision that could change everything she has come to treasure.

Starting Now is a return to Debbie Macomber's Blossom Street series, a warm story about second chances, friendship and finding out what really counts.
