SummaryA touching novel full of Southern comfort for fans of
Joshilyn Jackson and Fannie Flagg.
Dell Haley's mama always told her there were two things a
man couldn't get enough of: good cookin' and good lovin'.
Dell's got the cookin' down pat—the proof is in her
fried apple pies. But she suspects her husband is getting
more than his fair share of lovin'—she just doesn't
know where, or with whom. And when he turns up dead, Dell's
predictable life crumbles.
Now, short on money and education, Dell turns to the one
thing that has never let her down: her cooking. Risking
everything, she opens a restaurant in a derelict diner.
Soon, to Dell's surprise, it becomes the eating and meeting
place for a group of people who become unlikely
friends—and near family. But even as a community forms
around the cafe, Dell wonders who in this small town she can
trust to help her find the truth behind her heartbreak.
