Susannah's Garden (Thorndike Paperback Bestsellers) Overviews
It was the year that changed everything.
When Susannah Nelson turned eighteen, her parents sent her to school abroad. She said goodbye to her boyfriend, Jake -- and never saw him again. She never saw her brother again, either; Doug died in a car accident while she was away.
Now, at fifty, she finds herself regretting the paths not taken. Especially the chance to be with Jake . . . Long married, a mother and a teacher, she should be happy. But she feels there's something missing, although she doesn't know exactly what. Not only that, she's balancing the demands of an aging mother and a temperamental twenty-year-old daughter.
Because her mother, Vivian, a recent widow, is having difficulty coping and living alone, Susannah prepares to make some hard decisions. In returning to her hometown of Colville, Washington, to her parents' house, her girlhood friends and the garden she's always loved, she also returns to the past -- and the choices she made back then.
What she discovers is that things are not always as they once seemed. Some paths are dead ends. But some gardens remain beautiful . . .

Susannah's Garden (Thorndike Paperback Bestsellers) CustomerReview
This was a good story that moved at a fast pace and kept me fascinated. Perfect when you need to get things off your mind and lose yourself in someone else and their difficulties
Though this is book number three in the knitting book series, I did not know this when I chose this audio book and it can be a stand alone and everything is explained fully and don't feel that I missed anything from listening to 1 and 2 first.
Susannah Nelson has a normal life, but something seems missing. There is no real spark or drive. She is a fifth grade teacher, she has a husband and two teenage children.
When she gets a call and realizes that her mother is no longer able to live on her own since her husbands passing, Susannah decides to go home, to Colville, Washington to try and convince her mother that it's time to move into an assisted living facility.
Susannah while planning to go home keeps on having, reoccurring dreams of a high school sweetheart, the death of her brother thirty years before and unresolved problems with her deceased father.
When back in her home town she decides to find Jake, the high school sweetheart, and find out why he suddenly disappeared from her life. Susannah finds so much more then she ever bargained for. Can you expect your husband of twenty-five years to have the excitement and intensity of your high school boyfriend?
Inside this story there is a blackmail story. I will always remember my parents saying to me as a teen don't ever let anyone blackmail you over ANYTHING. You come and tell us and let us handle it. Me being a little Miss Innocent never understood while they said it but I never forgot their advise. In this story there is the BEST blackmail plot and solution. I will keep this audio as an example. If anyone ever gets a blackmail demand. Read or listen to this story. Great example and lessons to be learned on all fronts.
