When a lighthearted conversation in French with the manager of her favorite bakery turns into a job offer, Lexi accepts. But the actual glamour is minimal: the pay is less than generous, her co-workers are skeptical, her bank account remains vertically-challenged, and her parents are perpetually disappointed. Her only comfort comes from the flirtatious baker she has her eye–but even may not be who he seems to be!

So when a handsome young executive dashes into the bakery to pick up his high profile company’s special order for an important meeting–an order Lexi has flubbed– she loses her compulsion to please. “What am I going to do?” he shouts. “Let them eat cake!” she fires back with equal passion and a nod to Marie Antoinette. And then, something inside Lexi clicks. Laissez la révolution commencer! Let the revolution begin! Instead of trying to fulfill everyone else’s expectations for her life, Lexi embarks on an adventure in trusting God with her future–très bon!]]> 72439 3.88 368 95 2007 3300861 1400073286 9781400073283 16 <![CDATA[Bon Appetit: A Novel]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3300861.Bon_Appetit_A_Novel 3.74 78 Pastries, Paris and romance–Lexi’s adventure has just begun!

Lexi Stuart is risking it all. Saying au revoir to the security of home, her job, and could-be boyfriend Dan, Lexi embarks on a culinary adventure in France to fulfill her life dream of becoming a pastry chef.

As she settles into her new home in the village of Presque le Chateau to study and work in a local bakery, her twenty-something optimism meets resistance in the seemingly crusty nature of the people and culture around her. Determined to gain her footing, she finds a church, meets a new friend, and makes the acquaintance of a child named Celine–as well as Celine’s attractive, widowed father, Philippe. Even Patricia, the gruff pastry cook, shows a softer side as she mentors Lexi in the art of baking.

As Lexi lives her dream, the only thing she has to do is choose from the array in life’s patisserie display window: her familiar home, friends, and family in Seattle or her new life in France. Lexi discovers that as she leans more on God the choices become a little clearer– and making them, well, c’est la vie!]]> 72439 3.88 368 95 2008 6339200 1400073294 9781400073290 11 <![CDATA[Piece de Resistance: A Novel]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/books/63/200/6339200-m-1256052709.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/books/63/200/6339200-s-1256052709.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6339200-piece-de-resistance 4.18 22 au revoir to her glamorous and deliciously satisfying pastry mentorship outside of Paris and returns to her hometown of Seattle, Washington. There, she finds life unexpectedly complicated.

She’s put in charge of a high-end catering bakery called Bijoux, which should be her dream job, but there’s a catch: She has to make this lavish bakery into a successful business in just a few, short months, which will require more than her ability to make an amazing wedding cake. In over her head and at a loss for creative marketing ideas, Lexi isn’t sure what the recipe for success needs to be.

Stir in a complicated relationship with her French beau Philippe and his daughter, Celine, then add a dash of romance with down-to-earth lawyer Dan, and life suddenly contains more ooh la la than Lexi can handle.

With the fate of her career and her love life hanging by a thread, the phrase “piece of cake” has never been more daunting. Lexi learns that she must trust the dreams in her heart and the God who put them there.]]> 72439 3.88 368 95 2009 1176195 0764200224 9780764200229 7 <![CDATA[Red Velvet]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181655978m/1176195.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181655978s/1176195.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1176195.Red_Velvet 3.95 22 friendsforaseason.com to learn more!)]]> 72439 3.88 368 95 2005 1919647 0764200208 9780764200205 4 <![CDATA[Island Girl]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1190326311m/1919647.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1190326311s/1919647.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1919647.Island_Girl 3.86 22 72439 3.88 368 95 2005 349465 0764200216 9780764200212 6 <![CDATA[Chopstick]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173977489m/349465.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173977489s/349465.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/349465.Chopstick 4.20 20 72439 3.88 368 95 2005 1751869 0764224808 9780764224805 3 <![CDATA[Cross My Heart]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1187737438m/1751869.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1187737438s/1751869.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1751869.Cross_My_Heart 4.08 13 For once Lucy Larson is looking forward to her summer—what could be better than spending twelve weeks on exotic Catalina Island and sharing the adventure with her cousin.

The Secret Sisters are minding their own business at a Little League game when the snooty Coronado Club stirs up trouble--again! Tess and her friends have earned the best cabin at Outdoor School--the one that Lauren and her gang wanted--and now they're out for revenge.

Erin blurts out that Tess is racing across the Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim with her dad and certainly will win first place. Lauren insists Tess won't make it. Even worse, Lauren makes sure the whole sixth grade will hear all about the race at the Outdoor School's opening-night campfire! Tess is left worrying in silence, not wanting to share the secret that she knows could lead to disaster and embarrassment.]]> 72439 3.88 368 95 2000 2201849 1578562309 9781578562305 1 <![CDATA[Twenty-One Ponies]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2201849.Twenty_One_Ponies 0.0 0 Tess Thomas is an expert at getting into trouble. First, she secretly "borrows" her mother's diamond wedding earrings to wear to the church Harvest Party. But when the earrings get lost, Tess has to confess to her mom what she's done-and learns the hard way just how her careless actions can hurt another person. Determined to make things right, Tess decides to do one nice thing every day to get back on her mom's good side. Unfortunately, things go from bad to worse when Tess makes another big mistake! How will she ever get her mom to forgive her now? With the help of her secret sister and a Native American story, however, Tess discovers that forgiveness isn't something you earn-and that, despite all her blunders, maybe she really isn't such a terrible mess after all.

Boor Six War Paint

Should she compete in an all-out mural painting contest with her Secret Sister, Erin -- or run for "Miss Coronado"? Tess must decide!

Competition is fierce for the sixth grade mural team, and Tess's Secret Sister. Erin, desperately wants their group to win. Tess is determined that they will, despite a threat of "war" from members of the snobbish Coronado Club, who have decided they deserve to paint the mural.

Tess is shocked, however, to learn that she's one of four girls nominated for the "Miss Coronado" contest. If she decides to run, she has to drop out of the mural competition -- perhaps ruining her team's, and Erin's, chances. If she doesn't, the catty Lauren is sure to become "Miss Coronado." And nobody, not even Erin, wants that. What will Tess choose?

After all these expectant months, your baby has at last arrived. Although you knew life would change, you may not have realized that the first few months - perhaps a full year - would consist of absolute adoration mixed with outright fear, hours of joy eclipsed at times by depression, and an experience much richer, much harder, much better than anything you might have imagined.


Wisdom and Understanding . . . Guilt and Discouragement . . .

While becoming a parent is exhilarating, there is also no experience that is more exhausting. Many mothers feel guilty about the inevitable negative emotions that accompany motherhood. Yet rest assured, all these feelings are a normal part of the mothering experience.


Loneliness and Fatigue . . . Joy and Contentment . . .

Discover how you can embrace and learn from all your emotions - both positive and perplexing-through the short, encouraging essays; nurturing quotes, poems, and scriptures; and honest prayers found in Heartbeats.]]> 72439 3.88 368 95 2000 6416474 0764227548 9780764227547 0 <![CDATA[Chatting with Girls Like You: 61 More Real-Life Questions With Answers From the Bible]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6416474-chatting-with-girls-like-you 0.0 0 72439 3.88 368 95 2004 3139604 0764287737 9780764287732 0 <![CDATA[Mixed Hidden Diary]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3139604.Mixed_Hidden_Diary 0.0 0 72439 3.88 368 95 2001 7016894 0764280562 9780764280566 0 <![CDATA[Hidden Diary: Giftset, Volumes 5-8]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7016894-hidden-diary 0.0 0 72439 3.88 368 95 2002 7016895 1440706417 9781440706417 0 <![CDATA[Let Them Eat Cake]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7016895-let-them-eat-cake 0.0 0 72439 3.88 368 95 2009 7016899 0613894340 9780613894340 0 <![CDATA[Secret Sisters Handbook]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7016899-secret-sisters-handbook 0.0 0 The Secret Sisters Handbook bursts with creative ideas from cover to cover.
