Shiloh P. Jacobs is still in Churchville, VA, trying to sell
her mother's house and find a "real" job. Working at Barnes
& Noble putting stickers on books, serving espresso and
waiting tables at The Green Tea Restaurant is not paying the
bills. Her talent lies in writing. She's a journalist, half-
way through her master's degree and her creditors are
knocking at the door. Her world really gets turned upside
down when she gets a large envelope from the IRS. She owes
thousands in back taxes. She'll lose the house in a few
months if she doesn't sell it.
A couple of visitors from Japan "drop" in on Shiloh
unexpectedly. She is glad to see Kyoto, but Carlos, the ex-
fiancee, she is not. She and Adam Carter are just getting to
know each other and Shiloh thinks she may have found the
genuine thing in Adam. She sure has found the genuine thing
in giving her life to Jesus. Her mother found true happiness
here in this small rural, southern town and Shiloh is doing
the same. Her problems haven't all vanished, but she sure
has found peace and contentment. That is until her half-
sister, Ashley, calls and tells her she is suing for half
ownership in the house. And then she overhears Adam talking
to a girl about the marriage that never took place between
the two of them. How much more can Shiloh take?
Return to this quaint little town south of the Mason-Dixon
Line where "southern speak," as Shiloh calls it, is the only
language of the area. You'll even catch her using some of
it. Where has her journalistic training gone? LIKE SWEET
POTATO PIE is the sequel to Spinola's Southern Fried
Sushi and is just as comical and endearing as the first.
It's filled with inspiration through and through, and you'll
find yourself pulling for things to work out well for
Shiloh. Spinola does a fairly good job of catching you up to
speed from the first story, but it helps to have read it to
really understand this one. Don't miss either one -- they're
charming!
Witness as Shiloh’s new life in Virginia crumbles around
her. The house she inherited from her mother is much more
than a place to live—it represents Shiloh’s changed life and
what little financial security she has. But her half sister
is contesting their mother’s will and the IRS is threatening
to take it for back taxes. She’s also discovering God’s
ideal when it comes to love and romance. When Mr. Right
shows up will she recognize God’s hand or let circumstances
and prejudices blind her heart to the love of her life?
