Erin French delivers from the first word, poignant ,nostalgic, and tough driven girl who had never been given emotional support. From an early age food was the salve that healed all wounds , even those she couldn't touch or see. I tasted the icecream as she talked about savoring it in her 16 hour work day , 9 months pregnant. I tasted the mashed potatoes perfectly salted that soothed her heart with the death of her kitten. I cannot wait to read more. The book cover is absolutely gorgeous.
