Advance Praise
"From Hell to Challah is a shocking, funny, and honest diary of a woman who experiences loss and decides to take a road trip during a pandemic. Shari’s journal captures her thoughts laid bare as she attempts to escape an examination of herself only to discover that road trips aren’t always the dream journeys we imagine them to be. You will howl with laughter and your mouth will fall open more than once at her antics. Through it all, Shari holds nothing back and comes out the other side with a batch of new recipes for life.” - David Quinn, Co-founder of Allrecipes.com
“All it took to send Shari Wallack to a mental institution was an alarming cascade of life crises and one very minor worldwide catastrophe. Once sprung, she found herself on a spontaneous cross-country road trip to find peace of mind through food and friendship. Both hilariously raw and unflinchingly honest, her book from hell to challah shows how with hope, challah, and help from a handful of red cardinals, she rediscovered her reasons for waking up in the morning. It’s a joyful journey worth taking!” - Jon Cryer, Comedian and Two and a Half Men Emmy-winning actor
“Shari Wallack is a wonderful and charming writer with an eye for the details that make life worth living. During this lost year comes a stirring, heartfelt, and funny story of how you can be found. And with her recipes, you’re in for some extra treats.” - Phil Rosenthal, creator of Everybody Loves Raymond and Somebody Feed Phil
