Fiction Women's Fiction

LifeÒ€ℒs sweetest moments happen when you least expect them . . .

When Ruby McMillanÒ€ℒs husband announces one morning that heÒ€ℒs dumping her for another woman, sheÒ€ℒs unable to decide which indignity stings the most: the dissolution of their eighteen-year marriage or the deflation of her white- chocolate soufflé with raspberry Grand Marnier sauce. Without a good-bye to their two teenaged children, Walter leaves Ruby to cope with her ruined dessert, an unpaid mortgage, and her failing bakery.

With only royal icing holding her together, Ruby still manages to pick herself up and move on, subsidizing her income with an extra job as a baking instructor, getting a Ò€œmy-husbandÒ€ℒs-goneÒ€ makeover, and even flirting with her gorgeous mortgage broker, Jacob Salt. For as long as she can remember, Ruby has done whatÒ€ℒs practical, eschewing far-fetched dreams and true love in favor of stability. But suddenly single again at the age of forty- four, sheÒ€ℒs beginning to discover that life is most delicious when you stop following a recipe and just live.
