It's a warm, witty and wise story of sisters on their journey through love and life. Wendy Francis's new novel is as delicious asthe kringles made in Ellen's bakeshop., Contains more of the same jolly cruising in the South Pacific as did Payson's previous book, Blown Away. There's also more of the same self-deprecating humor, more good seafearing yarns and anecdotes. Yet beneath the subterfuge of a raconteur and comic is a man who knows the way of a yacht, a man who is mechanically and navigationally competent, and one who, I'll bet, is cool in a jam though more often than not, he depicts himself as a clown. For the vicarious voyager, this is an amusing and informative read; for someone bound to the South Pacific, a vade mecum.
SynopsisSisterhood, motherhood, marriage, baking, and books--these are a few of the things that make this delightful novel a recipe for getting through the tough stuff of life--from the author of The Summer Sail and The Summer of Good I, Sisterhood, motherhood, marriage, baking, and books--these are a few of the things that make this delightful novel a recipe for getting through the tough stuff of life--from the author of The Summer Sail and The Summer of Good Intentions. Ellen McClarety, a recent divorc e, has opened a new bake shop in her small Midwestern town, hoping to turn her life around by dedicating herself to the traditional Danish pastry called kringle. She is no longer saddled by her ne'er-do-well husband, but the past still haunts her--sometimes by showing up on her doorstep. Her younger sister, Lanie, is a successful divorce attorney with a baby at home. But Lanie is beginning to feel that her perfect life is not as perfect as it seems. Both women long for the guidance of their mother, who died years ago but left them with lasting memories of her love and a wonderful piece of advice: "At the end of every day, you can always think of three good things that happened." Ellen and Lanie are as close as two sisters can be, until one begins keeping a secret that could forever change both their lives. Wearing her big Midwestern heart proudly on her sleeve, Wendy Francis skillfully illuminates the emotional lives of two women with humor and compassion, weaving a story destined to be shared with a friend, a mother, or a sister., Sisterhood, motherhood, marriage, baking, and books--these are a few of the things that make this delightful novel a recipe for getting through the tough stuff of life--from the author of The Summer Sail and The Summer of Good Intentions.
