Ormond Beach #3
Unraveling the Pieces
"DuLong reminds me of a Southern Debbie Macomber but with a flair all her own." --Karin Gillespie New York Times bestselling author Terri DuLong casts on her newest tale of heartbreak and hope in Ormond Beach, Florida, a sun-dappled haven where one woman finds the comfort she's always needed... Petra Garfield has no real attachments tying her down to one place. She's ready for an adventure, so what could be better than an extended stay at Koi House with new friends and old in enchanting Ormond Beach. Having recently lost her mother, Petra is riddled with questions about the father she never knew. She certainly never thought she'd begin to find the answers in a tiny town in Florida... As much as she wants to search for the truth, Petra knows she can't spend all her time wallowing in the past, and her friends at the Dreamweaver yarn shop aren't about to let her. The ladies encourage her to volunteer at a local animal shelter, where she hits it off with a young boy--and his handsome father. Tangled in secrets she didn't even know she had, Petra must learn to stitch her life back together even as she unravels lifelong mysteries--and perhaps she'll find unexpected happiness along the way... Includes An Original Knitting Pattern! Praise for Terri DuLong's Cedar Key Novels "A heartwarming story...Great for fans of Kate Jacobs's Friday Night Knitting Club series." - Library Journal on Farewell to Cedar Key "An intriguing premise, a cozy, small-town backdrop, and even the hint of some magic...A sweet story, set in a friendly community." -- Kirkus on Postcards from Cedar Key "Tender and poignant, perfect for those who love knitting as well as the bonds between women." - RT Book Reviews (4 Stars) on Sunrise on Cedar Key

It's always wonderful to return to a favorite place and story line. The yarn shop and Koi House are back with Petra visiting the gang and searching for her past. She volunteers at the local animal shelter and meets young Joshua and his father Ben. Taking place over the Christmas season (even though they have dinner on the patio) Petra finds her father's family and learns the story of her mother's life. Ormond Beach series is a good one and it's always good to catch up with couples from the previous books. A beautiful knitting pattern is included and you also get some good knitting tips and info about various yarns.

Such an enjoyable romance novel! This is the third in a series and you don't have to read the first two to enjoy this book, but it would help to explain some of the other character's back stories and understand some of the dialogue.
Petra is quite an interesting woman and I could appreciate her desire to find out about her father since she was told he died shortly after she was born. I know it had to be a hard thing for her mom to do considering the times (late 60's early 70's) and being an unwed mother wasn't easy. It is too bad that as she got older that her mother couldn't tell her the truth about her father. She did leave some clues in case Petra decided to really look for him.
I also liked that Petra was older (late 40's) and had never been married. I could relate to her in a way because my life was somewhat similar in that regards. She had her issues to battle when it came to relationships, but I liked her strong character and kindness towards friends and dogs. But she does find love and they take their relationship slow because they both have a past to come to grips with before they can truly move forward.
While some of the story was predictable (or obvious as to where a story line would go), it was still very enjoyable book and it touches the heart.

This is the story of Petra Garfield who is living in Ormond Beach, Florida to be near her best friend. Petra is looking into finding her father who she never knew. The book was a fast easy read.

I wanted to like these books because of some reviewers' comparisons to Debbie Macomber, but all three of this series fell flat. Yes, I read all three. I did get engaged with some of the characters and the mysteries in the story lines, but the author's liberal bias and left-leaning political agenda was too much to deal with. There was one interesting character whose back story was alluded to, but then never fleshed out, so it was only there as a self-serving preaching of the liberal platform. I felt the mystic theme was unnecessary as well - too many stories competing with each other. Finally, as a Knitter, I found the repeated references to Ravelry and specific yarn and needle brands and yarns to be patronizing in an attempt to attract fiber artists to the books. Naming specifics like this is short-sighted and these books will definitely not stand the test of time. There were also references that a non-knitter wouldn't pick up on, but having knitalongs where every single knitter is using the identical yarn for the pattern is completely unrealistic, as well as instances where a completely inappropriate yarn choice is made, and another instance where the yarn store owner picks out needles for a new knitter without any comment as to gauge. Most of the knitting scenes were completely unrealistic.
My recommendation? Skip this author and read Debbie Macomber books.

Unraveling the Pieces
Third in a series of three that I had purchased, I almost didn’t read this as I did not like the second one very much at all. But the first was pretty good, so I thought I’d try it and I’m glad I did. For me it was the best of the series. The story was interesting and realistic and every character was believable. It wasn’t all
sweetness and light nicely packaged in a bow, but it was about life and choices. It was sad that Peter and Rhonda missed what could have been a beautiful love story, but true to life, our choices change our destiny.
Honestly I could have done without the “ghost” of Emmalynn, and true to all modern books these days there’s the prerequisite gay couples. But this was a very enjoyable book.

Great summer read!
I'm a knitter and that's what drew me to this series. I had read the Cedar Key series and enjoyed them too. I liked the characters of these books and their stories.

Knowing your past
I enjoyed this book. It was an extremely easy read. Some books I love because it takes me to places ill never visit. This was a simple read about wanting to know your past which can be a scary thing.

This is the third book in the series I just finished. This series is a an enjoyable read with all three books telling of the changes the main characters have made in their lives after the death of someone close to them. They all acquired a new "family" among fellow knitters.

Disclaimer: I won this book via the Goodreads Giveaways, in exchange for an honest review.
It's a lovely story, one that pulled me in before the first chapter was finished & was a challenge to put down. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters created by Ms. DuLong. I'm not going to give away any spoilers, but will highly recommend it for some easy, feel good reading. *spoiler alert - The pattern in the back of the book was a nice surprise, too.* I'm so glad to have won this book & have now added it to my little library's fiction collection. Thank you, Ms. DuLong!

I am SO GLAD I found this book series to read and yet, I'm not ready yet to let it go. For me, that is the mark of a really good book. 5 STARS!

Unraveling the Pieces by Terri DuLong is the third book in the An Ormond Beach Novel series. Petra Garfield and her dog, Lotte are moving from Jacksonville, Florida to Ormond Beach to be close to her friend, Isabelle as well as her newfound friends at the Dreamcatcher. Petra will be staying at Koi House (now that Isabelle has married and moved out). Petra loves animals and is encouraged to volunteer her time at the local animal shelter run by Suzanne Palmer. Petra is volunteering at an adoption event and meets Jonah. Jonah is attracted to two cute little dogs that need a new home. Jonah’s father does not appreciate Petra encouraging his son (nor the mention of checking with his mother). The little boy tugged at Petra’s heart, and he lingers in her thoughts. Petra takes her dog, Lotte to the recommended local vet and discovers it is Jonah’s father, Ben Wellington. It is just the beginning for Petra, Ben and Jonah. Petra lost her mother three years prior, but she had never told Petra about her birth father. The only clue Petra has is a photo with the name Peter Maxwell written on the back. Petra is intent upon getting answers that her mother, Rhonda did not provide. Come back for another trip to Ormond Beach in Unraveling the Pieces.
Unraveling the Pieces is well-written, contains interesting, well-rounded characters, has a good pace and a sweet ending. I did, though, feel it was predictable. I did like how it went back in time to 1969 to tell the story of Petra’s mother and her birth father. Emmalyn, the spirit who visits the residents of Koi House in their dreams, is back, but I did not feel she was very helpful. Her dream “clues” were obscure and did not add to the story. I give Unraveling the Pieces 4 out of 5 stars (I liked it even if it was predictable or expected). It was interesting to see how Petra followed the clues to get answers or unravel the pieces. Unraveling the Pieces is a nice escape and a good way to spend a Saturday afternoon (curl up in a cozy chair, blanket, and hot tea during the cold weather).

Unraveling the Pieces is the third book in Terri DuLong’s Ormond Beach series. It was fun to see familiar characters from the previous books. I recommend reading them in order.
Petra was in a previous book but as a friend to another woman – more of a support character. Now it’s her time to shine. Petra moves to Ormond Beach where she fits in perfectly with the friends she’d already made when visiting her friend the year before. She works from home so she can usually set her own hours which leaves her time to volunteer, knit, and enjoy her new friends. She also is searching for information about the father she never knew. The search will take her back to the places and people her mother knew when Petra was born.
I enjoyed this novel. There are two narratives: Petra’s and her mother’s. I liked the theme that sometimes you have to unravel the pieces of your past in order to move forward. There were some scenes in the book that were truly emotional. I don’t tear up very often while reading but I did during one particular scene when Petra starts to get answers to her questions.
Knitting is always happening in this series (as well as DuLong’s Cedar Key series). There is a pattern included that was part of the novel. I recommend Unraveling the Pieces to fans of Terri DuLong, Women’s Fiction, and knitting. I can’t wait to read the next novel in the series. *I received a copy from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased review.

Terri DuLong’s Unraveling the Pieces is the story of Petra Garfield’s personal, life-changing journey that she reluctantly takes when she discovers herself a crossroads in her life at forty-seven years old. Petra has taken an extended vacation in Ormond Beach, where she already has close friends and soon also becomes a part of a tight knitting community. Her mother passed away three years ago, and she now has reason to believe that the man she believed was father was not. She has one clue to her father’s identity, but she is not sure if she is ready or even wants to know the answers. She arrives for her vacation and concentrates on her friendships in Ormond Beach and enjoying the lovely town and beach.
Her knitting friends do not let her idle for long, and Petra finds herself volunteering at the animal shelter. While working, she meets an adorable ten-year old boy, Jonah, but she has a less than encouraging introduction with his father, Ben. Ben is a widower of two years and moved to Ormond Beach after his wife passed away. Although he and Petra did not meet on the best of terms, Jonah becomes the catalyst for both of them to reconsider their initial impressions of each other.

I really wanted to enjoy this book, with a slightly older protagonist searching for the truth about her parentage, with some fun knitting and romance along the way. I tried, truly, I did, but I sadly just found it boring. I got a third of the way through and nothing had really happened yet, except for Petra developing a rather disturbing fascination for a ten year old boy. Sure, he’s cute and all, but I found her fixation on him weird. Especially from a woman who has had no interest in kids thus far in her life.
There are also occasional scenes told from the POV of Petra’s mother, when she was young, dealing with who Petra’s father is and where that all went wrong. But I found that a bit dull too. I couldn’t really engage with the writing style, which spent too much time on unimportant conversations that don’t go anywhere and no time at all getting Petra to actually look for her father, or the characters who sort of blurred into an indistinguishable mass.
Sorry, but this book wasn’t for me. Maybe if I’d started at the beginning of the series I’d have liked it more, but I think the style just wasn’t a good fit for me.

Unraveling the Pieces byTerri DuLong
The last book in this series, not sure what is planned for the author now. Have enjoyed the books and this is one set out of 700 read annually that I kept.
Would've been awesome if a sketch or photo accompanied the pattern.
This story starts out with Petra and she's moved in the Victorian house which others have said is haunted and is magical and mystical and miracles do happen.
Story also follows Rhonda from 1969 and you don't quite see the connection but then things happen and you can't wait to see how it's all gonna play out.
Rather predictable but there are many twists and turns to keep you interested as it turns out to not be so predictable at all.
Love the community and all the help they provide to many in need. Remember over the years the characters and you are brought up to date with a bit of back story so you are not in the dark about them.
Love the differences between the characters and how it all works, they seem so comfortable with each other-love that! Will keep up with the author via amazon when a new book is published. Like the pattern and will make it for charity as I've done with all the other books' patterns.

Thank you to NetGalley.com for the opportunity to read an Advanced Reader Copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
The Ormand Beach series is still quite entertaining, yet I was disappointed in this installment as everything seemed to come together just too smoothly for Petra. Everything just seemed to fall so perfectly in place for her along her quest to find out who her father was – where was the conflict to make the perfect ending all the more sweeter?
What I loved: Each character has a pet (preferable a rescue) that seems to play a significant role in their lives as well as the story. Its obviously one of the author’s passions in life, outside of knitting, and it adds something special to not only this story but to all of the books in the series.
What I didn’t love: Isabelle (of “Stitches in Time” Book2) seems to be sliding back into her old selfish ways in this novel and there is hardly any mention of her daughter Haley. It is tough to see re-occurring characters in a series just have a brief mention after you have spent an entire book heavily invested in their life.
What I learned: Rescues are the best.
Overall Grade: B

Main character Petra Garfield is temporarily living in the historic Koi House in Ormond Beach, FL. Her mother recently passed away, so Petra has chosen to spend time with close friends and away from her Jacksonville home. Working from home affords Petra the time to search into her parents' past.
I was a bit confused for the first few pages of the book while DuLong re-introduced characters from earlier books. "Unraveling the Pieces" is the third book in the Ormond Beach series. After that little hiccup, I found the story well-developed as were the characters. I was drawn into Petra's life, cheering her on and feeling her sadness and successes. I liked the way DuLong wove Petra's parents story into the present day. Petra spends her spare time at the neighboring yarn store hanging out with the ladies who always have stories and gossip to share. She also volunteers at the local animal shelter where she meets very interesting people and animals.

Putting a yarn shop, knitting group, animal rescue shelter, adopted dogs, and a guiding spirit pretty much covers a lot of sub-genre in women's fiction category. That said, the plot is very complex while easy to follow making this a 5/5. There is even a knitting pattern at the end of the book.
The decisions made by 19 yr old Rhonda in 1969 and her determination to remain a single mother for her entire life impacted her daughter Petra. Petra seeks answers to her mother's life choices and possible paternal family while going through her mother's estate.
At 46 Petra finds herself in a new community where opportunities and friendships open her life to romance and the possibility of joining a family.
I would have preferred not dealing with a ghost guide and I felt it could easily have been left out. I assume this is part of a series which is why the spirit guide appears.

I received a copy of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Unraveling the Pieces is the third installment in Terri DuLong's Ormond Beach series. The story this time focuses on Petra, whom we met on our last (and her first) visit to Ormond. Petra has a lot of unanswered questions about her past, present, and future, and comes to the soothing and healing atmosphere of Koi House, to hopefully find some answers. As with all of Ms DuLong's books, I soon found myself surrounded by old friends and familiar surroundings, catching up on the latest gossip, and looking forward to new adventures. I absolutely love this series, and feel a little sad when I finish, because I know it will be a while before I can go back to the beach.

Love this series. After her best friend, Isabelle, relocates to Ormond Beach, Petra decides to stay there for a while — since she works from home, and has no family ties, there is no reason not to. She also wants to find the truth about who the father she never knew really was. Occasional chapters tell the story of Rhonda, Petra's mother, and the choices she made. Coincidence provides clues, which Petra follows. In addition, she makes new friends, including young Jonah, and his widowed father, Ben. Like the author's previous books, this is a story of love, family, and friends. Recommended.

I really enjoyed this book. The third in the Ormond Beach series, they have all been very enjoyable reads, but I think this one, written in a bit different style tan the previous two, was the best. I really hope the author will release a fourth Ormond Beach book.

Great fun read
Loved the newest book in the Ormond Beach series. Light reading, fun and wonderful characters. Makes you feel like your right there in the yarn shop with everyone. Can't wait for the next book.

Terri is a friend of mine from high school. I loved this book. I could see so much of the 60's in it. Also the character of Jonah was inspired by my grandson Jaxson so of course I love that. A really lovely story though to curl up with by the fire and a good glass of wine.

Third installment in the Ormond Beach series. Not as involved as the first two with the local knitters but an interesting story about the choices we make and how they resonate.

Another good yarn!
I sure hope there's another Ormand Beach book coming out soon! I can' t imagine who might be the next to stay at Koi House.
