Publisher's summary

Shaken by her parents’ divorce and discouraged by the growing chasm between herself and her serious boyfriend, Nikki Werner seeks solace at her uncle’s farm in a small Missouri hamlet. She’ll spend the summer there, picking up the pieces of her shattered present so she can plan a better future. But what awaits her at the ancestral farm is the past—one she barely knows.

Among her late grandmother’s belongings, Nikki finds an old notebook filled with handwritten German recipes and wise sayings pulled from the book of Proverbs.

With each recipe she makes, she invites locals to the family table to hear their stories about the town’s history, her ancestors, and her estranged father. What started as a cathartic way to connect to her heritage soon becomes the means through which she learns how the women before her endured—with the help of their cooking prowess and a healthy dollop of faith.

“A sweetly satisfying novel with layers of heartbreak and healing, forgiveness and family, homey wisdom … and recipes! You’ll want to slow down and savor this one.”—JULIE KLASSEN, bestselling author of The Sisters of Sea View

Truly Good Christian Fiction

I LOVE that this story recites scripture and history so frequently in the book and that the story weaves in and out of both! I loved the connections that were built between past and present. I really enjoyed this book, will seek out this author again, and will likely purchase this in hard copy as well.

Amazing Story, Amazing Narrator

I don't leave a lot of reviews, but I couldn't not tell the world how much I loved this book. I had no idea what a treat I was in for! This book is its own perfect recipe with just the right amounts of truth, love, and tears-happy and sad! My heart was continually uplifted and my spirit was repeatedly convicted, in the absolute best way. THANK YOU, Sara, for sharing this story with us and thank you to Jennette for sharing her talent with us through narrating. If you listen to this book, you won't be disappointed!

Family strength

I enjoyed this book, and would be a good one to have a hard copy of because of the recipes. I liked how the notes with the recipes helped Nicki through her struggles. And I liked uncle Wes.

Too much religion for me.

Stopped midway - too much religion woven into what might have been a good story for me.
