Women's Fiction | Fantasy Magical Realism

Rachel Linden’s newest book, A SPRINKLE OF SWEET SERENDIPITY, is full of all the wonderful things for which she is known. Mouth-watering food descriptions are the backbone of her stories, with strong family roots, sweet romance, and a little magical realism.

The book is set in the real town of Poulsbo, Washington, known as “Little Norway” for the strong Scandinavian architecture, Viking statues, and authentic bakeries. Single mom Emmie Wynne gave up her dream job working for a famous chocolatier in Paris to help her ill parents run their struggling, kitschy candy shop as she waits for her destiny to be revealed.  On an undetermined birthday, every woman in her family received a vision of her true purpose in life.

When her vision comes on her thirty-fourth birthday, she starts working towards the predetermined future of her own chocolate shop and a proposal from her celebrity TV crush. But financial set back, family responsibilities, and attraction to her old high school friend, Jakob, makes her doubt everything she has always believed.  Eventually, she must decide to follow her vision or where her family ties and heart are leading her.  A sweet, transporting read.

SUMMARY

A tantalizing novel about a struggling chocolatier who is granted a magical vision of the future of her dreams, only to realize that her heart may desire something else entirely, from the bestselling author of The Magic of Lemon Drop Pie.

Paris trained chocolatier and single mother Emmie Wynne gave up her own dreams six years ago when she returned to her Pacific Northwest coastal tourist town to run her family's struggling candy store. Now on her thirty-fourth birthday, Emmie has only one wish, to be granted the vision that every Wynne woman is given once in her lifetime—a shimmering glimpse of her true destiny. This year, when she blows out her candles, it finally comes true.

Her vision is more delectable than she could’ve imagined—her very own artisanal chocolate shop filled with decadent truffles and caramels, and her celebrity crush, Henry Summers, down on one knee. And when Henry suddenly arrives in town for the summer, offering Emmie the opportunity of a lifetime, the future in her vision suddenly seems possible.

But a rekindled connection with Jakob, her former high school best friend turned hunky, brooding tattooed baker, forces Emmie to grapple with the bittersweet realization that her destiny may not be what her heart truly longs for. As the culmination of her vision draws nearer, can Emmie find the courage to create a happiness of her own making?
