The Kitchen Daughter by Jael McHenry


Ginny is a young woman with Asperger's who has lived a sheltered life with her parents. Her sister Amanda is married and has two daughters. Ginny's passion is cooking and she is very good at it. Ginny has her quirks but she manages fairly well. Her parents have left her alone while they go on a vacation. A housekeeper comes once a week to clean and pick up her grocery list. Ginny's world is sent spinning out of control when her parents die in a freak accident. Amanda assumes that the house will be sold and Ginny will move in with Amanda's family. Ginny, however, is not on the same page. She does not want to leave her home. When she is upset she cooks. This time she tackles a recipe written out by her mother. When the aroma fills the kitchen, her dead mother appears to her! Somehow it doesn't come off that weird in the book! And that conversations leads to a bit of a mystery. I really enjoyed the book..... magic included!
