Madison Buckner is trying to start her life over with a new
job in Sandwich, Illinois. She completed cosmetology school
and is now employed at Sandwich Cut N' Style. She only gets
walk-ins right now and her first one is the very handsome
Rueben Callahan, owner of the Sandwich Emporium, a
restaurant chain he's trying to build and carry on his
father's wishes. Long nights of overseeing the restaurant
and trying to balance the books have made him very
exhausted.
As Maddie begins his cut, Rueben falls asleep in the chair
and nods his head with the first snip of her scissors. She
cuts a 4" chunk of hair that totally ruins his "look." Just
as that happens, her boss walks in and Maddie's world is
upended. Maddie gets fired on the spot and is asked to take
her things and leave. Could life get any worse? And just
when there was hope of settling down and getting her little
brother out of foster care.
Reuben feels badly about what happened and tracks Maddie
down, offering her a job as a waitress in his restaurant.
Reluctantly, she takes it, knowing she's not cut out for
waitressing. She immediately proves that as she dumps a
whole plate of food in the mayor's lap. After being
summoned to Reuben's office and seeing the mess there,
Maddie offers to be his assistant and help get him
organized. His office is indeed a wreck, and he knows he is
barely keeping ahead of the paperwork. This arrangement
works out great, until Reuben's long-time girlfriend, Livy,
gets jealous. She begins pressing Reuben to make a firm
commitment to their relationship and Reuben begins having
second thoughts.
Travel to this enchanting little town of Sandwich and visit
with Reuben's delightfully endearing family. This is a
story about relationships, forgiveness, leaving your past
behind and starting over, trying to hold on to God's
promises for your life. Find out if Maddie gets her little
brother out of foster care and what happens with Reuben and
Livy's relationship. This is indeed a SANDWICH WITH A SIDE
OF ROMANCE. It's a great fun read!
She moved to Sandwich, Illinois, in search of a new life,
but ended up in a giant pickle.
Sandwich represents hope for 20-year-old Maddie Buckner
and Kyle, the 11-year-old brother Maddie wants to spring
out of foster care. Then she loses her new job after less
than a day. It’s all Reuben-the-Jerk’s fault, and she’s
determined to make him right the wrong.
He does so, reluctantly, by giving her a job at his
restaurant, The Sandwich Emporium. Then crazy things start
happening at the restaurant, and Kyle’s foster parents apply
to adopt him. To stop it all, Maddie must learn the art of
humbling herself and accepting the help God has arranged,
risking her heart to Reuben in the process.
And she’d rather eat a million corned-beef on rye sandwiches
than do that.
