The Right Ingredients
Missing
the right ingredients for a life of joy, a young baker learns lessons in the
true recipe for love.
Ann’s
hectic work responsibilities demand all her time and effort, and what was once
a useful, satisfactory life has become a burden. Her bakery partner Susan has
lost none of her enthusiasm for their business, and Ann can’t understand her
exuberance, or her friend’s Christian faith. So she trudges along, hiding her
dissatisfaction from Susan, resigned to a life of work, sleep and problems.
Unexpected
comments offered by two different people cause a crack in Ann’s armor and her
thoughts careen into unexpected directions. Attention from a young widower with
a son challenges Ann’s resolve to stay safe and uninvolved. Susan’s example of
faith through trial furthers Ann’s curiosity about God. Ann must choose to step
toward the unfamiliar freedom of giving and receiving love, or stay in the
shadows, stuck in the grip of past hurt and long-standing barriers.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Nancy Shew Bolton is a wife of 41 years, mother of five grown sons, and
grandmother to a boy and girl. Ever since she learned to write, she would jot
down her thoughts and impressions in little snippets of inspiration in the form
of poetry, song lyrics, or short essays. About six years ago, she decided to
try her hand at writing a full length book. She’s since written five works of
fiction, two non-fiction, and is working on an idea for a children’s book, as
well as more fiction manuscripts. Writing a full-length work is much more
challenging than she thought, and she has received so much valuable assistance
from other writers, especially from the ACFW critique groups. Her husband has
been supportive of her long hours spent at the keyboard. Many thanks to her
beloved Johnny! What a journey! She
thanks God and His Son for her life, her loved ones and the spark of creativity
inside every person. She believes each person is a unique creation, with their
own special voice and place in this amazing universe. God’s handiwork amazes her
every day!

ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies! It's such a blessing to get to know so many other authors and readers who also love God!
ReplyDeleteAs someone who used to enter recipe contests compulsively, as well as someone who always has had a weight problem, I'm in a push-pull situation about food. But a book that couples food with a romance, that can't be beat.
