-The Present-
When
summoned to Georgetown, South Carolina, sisters Mariah Clark and Sabrina
Holland both assume their ailing grandfather's health has gotten worse.
Neither expects their grandmother's undeniable request--save the family
restaurant.
Mariah is at a crossroad in her life.
After being dumped by her husband and forced to walk away from their
diner that she helped rescue from bankruptcy, bitter feelings consume
her. Even though the restaurant has been in the family for eighty-six
years, giving her all to another struggling business isn't something she
wants to do.
Living out of her van and striving for a
fresh start, Sabrina yearns for stability for herself and her daughter
and a chance to turn her baking hustle into a bona-fide business. The
family restaurant may be just the blessing she needs--but as old
tensions and angry disagreements resurface, Sabrina wonders if her
sister will let her have a say.
-The Past-
After
falling victim to a love she thought would last a lifetime, Tabitha
Cooper finds herself away from home and struggling to survive in
Charleston in the early twentieth century. She is determined to turn
corn into cornbread and to take care of her children the best way she
knows how--by serving food that's good for the soul--and along the way
forges a path that leaves a legacy of success for generations to come.

My Review
What a great read to get lost in. Told in dual time, the early 1900's to the present, through a gift of letters.
There is a lot of family dynamics here, and more and more come to light as you continue through this book.
There
is a lot information about the Gullah people, I never knew this, and we
work with the food from this region, and I loved how this all blends
into this story!
There are a lot of family dynamics here, strong
women, and you really need to read all the way to the end for it all to
blend together. Be ready for strong emotions and a feeling that you want
to fight for justice!
I will be look for more from this author!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Thomas Nelson, and was not required to give a positive review.
