Simon & Schuster provided me with an eGalley of this book for review (thank you). The book will be published in the middle of April in hardcover.
Ginny took her refuge from the world in food. She loved cooking in the kitchen and used thoughts of food to calm herself when people got too close or tried to touch her. Her life was doing just fine until her parents went on vacation and died in an unfortunate accident. That turns her life upside down. Her sister wants her to sell the house she's grown up in and move in with her. She also wants her to visit a doctor. Ginny doesn't want to do any of this, but isn't sure how to make her sister see it would be OK.
The author does an excellent job of expressing Ginny's feelings and showing how a disability does not mean one can't function; it just means the person has to learn ways of coping with those feelings and fears.
The story is emotional and part fantasy. Cooking old hand-written recipes doesn't usually mean a visit from ghosts. But somehow that all fits well with this tour through Ginny's mind.
I enjoyed this read. It's about family, loss, and a new beginning. Get a copy at your local bookstore and check it out.
Happy reading!
