While cleaning out the cluttered basement of Grace Chapel Inn, Jane Howard finds an old cookbook brimming with her mother's recipes and hand written notes. Through these precious, fragile pages of the recipe book, Jane comes to discover the spirit of her mother, Madeleine, who died while giving birth to Jane. But when the inn gets busy and money troubles threaten, Jane wonders if moving back to Acorn Hill was a big mistake. Can her crisis of faith lead to a new solution for the inn - and for Jane herself?
Review: I did not realize that this isn't the first book in the series. That said, it doesn't matter.
This is a quick, warm fuzzy, feel good read. Just the type of story I needed after reading a much darker novel, The Cellist of Sarajevo. Just as reading too many dark novels without a break gets to me, so does reading too much sunshine and roses. For that reason I won't commit to reading every book in this series, but I'm sure they're all written with the same flavor and all would be enjoyable.
The characters are likeable, and as a fan of B&Bs, the Grace Chapel Inn is a place I'd love to spend to the night.
As a bonus, recipes are scattered throughout and few sound quite tasty. I might just try one or two out myself. The chocolate pancakes sound particularly yummy as well as a frittata with artichokes. Love me some artichokes.
