This book was created to share two gifts: food and reading. Without the ability to read, we miss out on magic, on thoughts, on being transported to other times and other places. Without food, we wither and without the written word we are less than we can be.
And so, these wonderful authors offered their recipes and their histories and their love so others can have the ability to share their stories.
Sometimes love is that magical feeling of butterflies fluttering in your stomach when you see that special someone, and sometimes it’s clenched jaws when you remember the pain that they tattooed onto your heart. Second chances don’t always come easily, but when they do, it can be a beautiful redemption.
Buckle up and get ready for a wild ride with this collection of second chance love stories that will leave you breathless and begging for more.
