In this spectacular new novel, Barbara OโNeal delivers a generous helping of the best in lifeโfamily, food, and loveโin the story of a womanโs search for the one thing worth more than anything.
At thirty-seven, Tessa Harlow is still working her way down her list of goals to โfall in love and have a family.โ A self-described rolling stone, Tessa leads hiking tours for adventurous vacationersโitโs a job thatโs taken her around the world but never a step closer to home. Then a freak injury during a trip already marred by tragedy forces her to begin her greatest adventure of all.
Located high in the New Mexico mountains, Las Ladronas has become a magnet for the very wealthy and very hip, but once upon a time it was the setting of a childhood trauma Tessa can only half remember. Now, as she rediscovers both her old hometown and her past, Tessa is drawn to search- and-rescue worker Vince Grasso. The handsome widower isnโt her type. No more inclined to settle down than Tessa, Vince is the father of three, including an eight-year-old girl as lost as Tessa herself. But Tessa and Vince are both drawn to the townโs most beloved eateryโ100 Breakfastsโand to each other. For Tessa, the restaurant is not only the key to the mystery that has haunted her life but a chance to find the home and the family sheโs never known.
