Lucille Howard may not be as young as she once was, but that doesn’t stop her from teaching baking classes, showing her students how to make perfect Southern desserts. With the popularity of her classes soaring, Lucille hires Iris to help assist her. And even though Iris is facing a mountain of personal problems, she finds refuges in Lucille’s kitchen. Lucille soon finds herself caring for a little boy, her new neighbor’s child, Lincoln after a tragedy. As the community falters, Lucille is there to help remind them that they are bound together, there to help each other trough the most difficult of crises. Elizabeth Berg’s novels are simply beautiful, I never put one down without feeling better about myself and the world in general
