When her eating disorder is triggered again, though she longs to hide, she instead follows God and fights for her own survival. But will she succeed? As these women's lives intertwine, their eyes open to the glory within each of them as they begin to recognize themselves as being created in God's imag No library descriptions found. |

This is one novel I will not easily put from my mind. It is a deep study on our relationship with food, (after all, Ellyn, the main character in this story is a chef) as well as with each other. I wanted to write a review like most of my other reviews that comment on the excellent use of words (which it does) including the feeling of being right there, tasting her delicious creations, smelling the wonderful aromas, just feeling a part of the story,which one does.
But paramount seems to be the feeling of this story talking to my inner most needs. And in this it reminds me of the experience of a missionary. She knew the Spanish language well enough to follow the message given without an interpreter (or so she thought).however, later when commenting on how message had spoken so clearly to her needs, she found out she was the only one who had heard this,and what she had thought had been the theme had not even been mentioned! So i think this novel will do the same...whatever you need is what you will hear, which is a phenomenal thought, and only possible through God!
i recieved this novel free from Handlebar Publishing for the purpose of reviewing. A positive critique was not required, only an honest, original one. (
