From New York Times bestselling author Sandra Lee
comes her debut novel, a heartwarming story about food,
family, and forgiveness.
Grace Holm-D'Angelo
is at her wit's end, trying to create a new life from broken
pieces. Newly divorced, she is navigating suddenly becoming
a single mother to her fourteen-year-old daughter. Emma,
resentful about being uprooted from Chicago to LA and still
reeling from the divorce, is generally giving her mother a
hard time.
Then Grace's best friend, Leeza, succumbs
to breast cancer after a long battle, and Grace realizes
that you don't get a second chance at life. She returns to
her hometown of New London, Wisconsin, to try to reconcile
with her own mother, Lorraine, with whom she's been
estranged for longer than she cares to remember.
Over
the course of the summer, Grace rediscovers the healing
powers of cooking, coming to terms with your past, and
friendship, and learns you can go home again, and sometimes
that's exactly where you belong.
