Armed with a Crock-Pot and a pile of recipes, a grandmother, her
granddaughter, and a mysterious young man work to bring a community
together in this uplifting novel for readers of The Chicken
Sisters. Esther Larson has been cooking for funerals in the
Northwoods of Wisconsin for seventy years. Known locally as the
"funeral ladies," she and her cohort have worked hard to keep the
mourners of Ellerie County fed--it is her firm belief that there is
very little a warm casserole and a piece of cherry pie can't fix.
But, after falling for an internet scam that puts her home at risk,
the proud Larson family matriarch is the one in need of help these
days. Iris, Esther's whip-smart Gen Z granddaughter, would do
anything for her family and her community. As she watches her
friends and family move out of their lakeside town onto bigger and
better things, Iris wonders why she feels so left behind in the
place she is desperate to make her home. But when Cooper Welsh
shows up, she finally starts to feel like she's found the missing
piece of her puzzle. Cooper is dealing with becoming a legal
guardian to his younger half-sister after his beloved stepmother
dies. While their celebrity-chef father is focused on his booming
career and top-ranked television show, Cooper is still hurting from
a public tragedy he witnessed last year as a paramedic and finding
it hard to cope. With Iris in the gorgeous Ellerie County, though,
he hopes he might finally find the home he's been looking for. It
doesn't seem like a community cookbook could possibly solve their
problems, especially one where casseroles have their own section
and cream of chicken soup mix is the most frequently used
ingredient. But when you mix the can-do spirit of Midwestern
grandmothers with the stubborn hope of a boy raised by food plus a
dash of long-awaited forgiveness--things might just turn out okay.
