Now this was a great feel-good book! It is set in the small town of Avalon near Chicago. As in all towns, there are people dealing with the challenges of life. Julia lives with her daughter, Gracie, and husband, but she really isn't living. A tragedy several years earlier has left her struggling to get through every day. One day Julia arrives home with Gracie and finds a loaf of Amish Friendship Bread on the porch. Chances are you know about Friendship Bread. It comes with a bag of starter that you care for and add to. At the end of 10 days you have extra starter that you are supposed to pass on to friends. Julia thought the bread looked great but the starter was headed to the garbage until Gracie stopped her. So they took care of the starter and then had to find someone to give it to at the end. This story is about how that bread took over the town, brought people together, healed wounds, fed the flood victims......get the idea? I told you it was a feel-good book! I enjoyed the characters and their stories.
