Description: Grace D'Angelo is a woman at her wits' end, trying to create a life from broken pieces. Recently divorced from her high school sweetheart, she is trying to make a new life for herself but her 14-year old daughter, Emma - resentful about being uprooted from her hometown and friends - is giving Grace a very hard time, skipping school and hanging with the wrong crowd. On top of all that, Grace's best friend Leeza is at the heartbreaking end stages of breast cancer back in their rural hometown of New London. When Leeza dies, Grace feels it is a bittersweet wake-up call that you don't get a second chance at life. Determined to get her life back on track and help her daughter do so as well, Grace and Emma return to New London for the summer, along with Grace's best friend, Ken. There, Grace works on reconciling with her own mother with whom she's been estranged over a secret that has haunted Grace her whole life. And when someone from Grace's past shows up at Leeza's funeral, Grace must confront a secret of her own. Over the summer, Grace rediscovers the healing power of cooking, comes to terms with her past, and connects with friends old and new, proving that not only can you go home again, sometimes that's exactly where you belong. Accessible, hugely entertaining, and featuring a cast of unforgettable characters, The Recipe Box is a novel that celebrates mothers, daughters, and friendships and features Sandra Lee's deliciously original recipes - a book that will nourish readers' appetites on many levels.
