Newly released from a ten–year prison sentence, Will Taylor is ready for a fresh start. With harmonica in hand–the only possession he values, aside from his Bible–he makes his way to Wabash, where a late–night meal at Livvie's Kitchen turns into a job opportunity when the outgoing cook learns about his restaurant experience. What he doesn't know is that the "restaurant" was a prison cafeteria.
But Will became a new man behind bars, thanks to a Christian friend, and he credits God's providence with landing him a job he loves. Soon, he cooks and bakes his way into the stomachs of his customers–and the heart of his employer. Both are hesitant, though, still healing from past hurts. A recipe for love between them will require sharing secrets, braving dangers, and believing God for a bright future.
I know that when I pick up one of Sharlene's books I will not want to put it down until I am finished. The characters grab your heart and you are rooting for them all the way. I was especially touched by the relationship between Will and Livvie's boys. A wonderful story with a message about second chances.Author: Sharlene MacLaren

I'm drawn to this one just by the cover alone. Knowing that you've always enjoyed her books each time you've read one says a lot for me. This will be a new author to try for me.
I've not read this author, but will certainly keep my eyes open.
I haven't read this author, but this one does sound really captivating. Thanks for sharing.
Well, I need a book for Indiana so I'll have to add this to my list!
I love the cover of this but I bet it's not a book for me. I like that you have found an author you can count on.
