Deena Livingston has moved from Atlanta, where her parents own a pig farm and she attended culinary school, to the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. Her world-traveling grandfather Ernest left her his A-frame cabin with the stipulation that she teach cooking at The Center for 6 months to middle schoolers. She is still recovering from the car accident that left her badly scarred and in constant pain. Her fiance, Lucas, has been unfaithful. Journaling, God's word, stories about her grandfather told by her eccentric aunt, the children at The Center, and, of course, Jonas and Zach, set Deena on the road to recovery.
Great, comforting read!
