Rose Harbor in Bloom: A Novel Description
Hailed as "the reigning queen of women's fiction" (The Sacramento Bee), number-one New York Times best-selling author Debbie Macomber is renowned for her novels of love, friendship, and the promise of fresh starts. Now Macomber returns to the charming Rose Harbor Inn, where each guest finds a second chance and every room comes with an inspiring new view.
Since moving to Cedar Cove, Jo Marie Rose has truly started to feel at home, and her neighbors have become her closest friends. Now it's springtime, and Jo Marie is eager to finish the most recent addition to her inn. In memory of her late husband, Paul, she has designed a beautiful rose garden for the property and enlisted handyman Mark Taylor to help realize it. She and Mark don't always see eye-to-eye - and at times he seems far removed - yet deep down, Jo Marie finds great comfort in his company. And while she still seeks a sense of closure, she welcomes her latest guests, who are on their own healing journeys.
Annie Newton arrives in town to orchestrate her grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary celebration. While Annie is excited for the festivities, she's struggling to move on from her broken engagement, and her grandparents themselves seem to be having trouble getting along. Worse, Annie is forced to see Oliver Sutton, with whom she grew up and who has always mercilessly teased her. But the best parties end with a surprise, and Annie is in for the biggest one of all.
Rose Harbor in Bloom is Debbie Macomber at her heartwarming best.

Debbie Macomber's Rose Harbor in Bloom is a warm and inviting story of love, healing, family, and friendship. This second outing in the Rose Harbor series brings readers back to the Rose Harbor Inn where B&B owner Jo Marie receives unexpected news and her guests make peace with their pasts and find love in the process.
Jo Marie has made significant progress dealing with her grief over her husband Paul's death but she continues to cling to the unrealistic hope that he might somehow still be alive. Just as her newest round of guests is arriving, her life is complicated by unsettling news that the Army is finally to retrieve the bodies of Paul and the servicemen who died with him in Afghanistan. Jo Marie has plenty to distract her from dwelling on the recovery effort as she goes about her B&B hosting duties.
Annie Newton and her family are staying at the Rose Harbor Inn as they celebrate her grandparents' fiftieth wedding anniversary. She is shocked by her grandparents' constant squabbling and she is dismayed by the appearance of her teenage crush, Oliver. Will her grandparents' renew their vows as planned? Will she set aside her animosity towards Oliver long enough to uncover the truth about his feelings for her?
As Mary Smith comes face to face with her mortality, she is plagued with regrets over her failed relationship with George Hudson. Unable to resist the pull of her past, Mary reconnects with George but will the secret she carries ruin their reunion?
Rose Harbor in Bloom takes place over a long weekend and each of the characters' stories are told in alternating chapters from their perspective. Jo Marie's point of view is first person and her conflict is the most vivid of the three.
