“A poignant and touching story of friendship, love and healing. Perfect for your book club!”
—#1 New York Times bestselling author, Barbara Freethy
A recipe for living…
New friends can be found in unexpected places. For Bridget and Amy, that place was the cancer ward of an Anchorage hospital. Now, as each struggles to overcome loss, they lean on each other for support—sharing suppers, laughter and tears.
Bridget and Amy aren’t about to let hardship knock them down—Bridget plans to return to her veterinarian school studies, Amy to her position as a second-grade teacher—but neither feels quite ready. And so the Sunday Potluck Club is born, a way for Bridget, Amy, and other women who have lost a loved one to find solace and understanding. Savoring favorite dishes while sharing memories and the comfort of connection, the members of the Sunday Potluck Club nourish body and soul.
As weeks go by and the group grows in unforeseen ways, both Bridget and Amy are inspired to find greater purpose. Amy reaches out to a student whose father bravely faces his own struggle. Bridget volunteers at the local animal shelter, rehabilitating dogs whose unconditional love will bring others a chance to heal. And with the help of two special men, Bridget and Amy are realizing that there’s always room at the table for love and rekindled joy…The Sunday Potluck Club novels will appeal to the many readers who are making Up-Lit (uplifting literature) a big trend. Melissa Storm is known for writing novels about women who manage to stay positive and upbeat no matter what adversity they face. In her words, the books in this series are “about finding strength when you didn’t know you had anything left, overcoming adversity with the help of friends, and crossing age and species boundaries to form a community (or found family).”
Rescue dogs are an important element of the story, which adds a further heart-warming element. Melissa works with a local dog rescue, so this is an issue that’s important to her.
