Miller, Louise

A novel about sisterly bonds and the ties that bind a community, with a hint of blooming romance between Nora and a newcomer in town, this is slow and gentle reading that will appeal to fans of Jan Karon's "Mitford" books and Jennifer Chiaverini's "Elm Creek Quilts" series.

Mix in one part Diane Mott Davidson's delightful culinary adventures with several tablespoons of Jan Karon's country living and quirky characters, bake at 350 degrees for one rich and warm romance. Fans of Jeanne Ray and Judith Ryan Hendricks will enjoy this lighthearted love story that's as homey as a slice of prized crumb apple pie.
