ReplyDeleteGreat news! I'm disappointed with the TV Show and almost all of the movies that were made from Debbie Macomber's material so I'm glad they're finding new authors to work with.
ReplyDeleteYes my mother loves her books but also disliked the tv show and movies
DeleteHopefully it won't last for one season and then turn into 4 movies a years like SSD. Never read the books, but looking forward to the series.
