Publisher's summary

The recipe for forgiveness begins with an open heart and a full belly.

Sisters Rose Tillman and her sister Marvina Nash haven't spoken in decades—not since Rose sent Marvina $40 to register their business and Marvina used that money for her own personal purposes. Now retired, Rose wants to open the restaurant they'd once dreamed of. But, to her horror, Rose realizes she's forgotten their mother's secret spice mix recipe, known to only one other person in the world.

With no other option, Rose embarks on a two-hour drive to Marvina's house back in Fork City, Texas. Marvina has her own version of what caused their falling out, and it's a far cry from what Rose recalls. Marvina, skeptical and still indignant, but incurably polite, figures she'll give Rose a chance to speak her piece before closing the door in her face.

As the sisters fight their way to forgiveness, they unpack their complicated past, form an unexpected alliance with a young mother-to-be, and reconnect through the tantalizing aroma of chicken dinners that hold the power to heal—or divide—a community.

In a tale rich with Southern charm, Rose and Marvina discover through fussing, laughter, and tears that the secret ingredient to a bright future might just be found in facing who they are today—and in forgiving the past to embrace a second chance at sisterhood.

Life Seasonings Brings Sisters Together

What happens when, after a 33-year career at the post office, Rose passes out during her underwhelming breakroom retirement celebration, Marvina’s work in the community with youth ends, and she takes all her dishes from her church fellowship hall? A lot, and as endings and new beginnings happen for both; their lives must intersect in surprising ways.

Sometimes, the way we remember isn’t accurate, and the only way to know is through hard but loving conversations with people were there. If your book club or ladies' church group wants an easy read with a few great conversation points, check out Sisters With a Side of Greens. I thoroughly enjoyed the book!

A Delicious Education on Redemption

Beautiful story of love and rédemption! I love the journey these sisters take with the help of a pregnant teenage girl full of wisdom and love. In the process of helping her, she opens their eyes to breaking down barriers of prejudice, judgment, i forgiveness, and redemption. Well written and developed. I found the use of the seasonings so enticing that when the author visited my book club i inquired about the possibility of purchasing them. She provided the link and i did! It gave a full connection to the book and really gave more life to the story hearing how she developed it.

Enjoyable Read

I love the storyline! It was relatable as far as how assumptions are formed and how much time can be lost as a result of it.

Great read! Rich with wonderful nuggets of truth!

There were so many nuggets of truth in this book that made you think about the importance of building on the future instead of digging up and wallowing in past hurts, failures, and shortcomings of yourself and others. It shared the importance of dealing with the healing of deep wounds so that others can also be healed. I laughed, cried, was sad, and happy. I processed through so many emotions! This was a great read!

Happy Endings

This read was surprisingly quirky but heartfelt in the best way. I loved how the sisters fussed but still loved on each other and also how together they took in and loved on Chresha and her baby. Overall it was a great read.

There are always two sides to every story.

I like the it made you think about what we where taught as kids and how it is a contradiction to life.
