If you like the Friday Night Knitting Club, then you'll most likely like this book too. It is one I think my book club would enjoy. I liked the recipe variations and would love to try the chocolate carmel brownies. A sweet, fast read though predictable. I liked the characters and this book does make you want to call a friend to invite over for tea.

A clear favorite - as an overly-sentimental person, I found this book filled with many sweet moments. It was cleverly written - not just another bit of chick lit - truly, stories were real and kind of painful but twisted into something bittersweet, and good...of course, a little cheesy at times, but overall a great read - I admit I teared up a lot as I was reading along, I loved the characters - and there are many - sweet book.

This was the kind of book I’ve been needing to break me out of my reading slump and to touch me. A very sweet story of friendship and forgiveness that actually made me cry at one point. I loved these ladies, I felt their pain, I rooted for reconciliation. I’d had this book on my TBR list for probably 8 or 9 years and I’m glad I finally picked it up! I’ll definitely be reading this author again.

A woman, who has suffered a devastating loss, discovers a bag of friendship bread starter on her porch. Before she can throw it away, her young daughter talks her into making friendship bread. And everything changes, for the woman, for her family, for her friends, for her town.
A gentle story about the redemptive nature of small acts of kindness and friendship.
