A bit of advice - don't read this book when you're hungry :-) The female lead character is a chef and her cooking is described in delicious detail. I really enjoyed this book. The story sucked me in right away, and I had a hard time putting it down. Laureano does a great job with characters that are real, along with thought-provoking insights into issues like trust, following your dreams, and how much past experiences affect a person's reactions to current challenges. I really liked this quote: "Nothing's wasted. Not with God. Sometimes you just need to have faith that He's got what's next." I highly recommend this book!
