Synopsis...
Linda Francis Lee has served up a novel that is about the courage it
takes to follow your heart and be yourself.
A true recipe for life.
Portia Cuthcart never intended to leave Texas. Her dream was to run the
Glass Kitchen restaurant her grandmother built decades ago. But after a string
of betrayals and the loss of her legacy, Portia is determined to start a new
life with her sisters in Manhattan . . . and never cook again. But when she
moves into a dilapidated brownstone on the Upper West Side, she meets
twelve-year-old Ariel and her widowed father Gabriel, a man with his hands full
trying to raise two daughters on his own. Soon, a promise made to her sisters
forces Portia back into a world of magical food and swirling emotions, where
she must confront everything she has been running from. What seems so simple on
the surface is anything but when long-held secrets are revealed, rivalries
exposed, and the promise of new love stirs to life like chocolate mixing with
cream. The Glass Kitchen is a delicious novel, a tempestuous story of a woman
washed up on the shores of Manhattan who discovers that a kitchen—like an
island—can be a refuge, if only she has the courage to give in to the pull of
love, the power of forgiveness, and accept the complications of what it means
to be family.
