Book Review of Friendship Cake (Hope Springs, Bk 1)

Friendship Cake (Hope Springs, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 33 more book reviews


When five women from the Hope Springs Community Church form a committee to create a cookbook, they embark on a project more meaningful than they could ever have imagined. As novice pastor Charlotte Stewart, no-nonsense Margaret Peele, maverick Louise Fisher, steadfast Jessie Jenkins, and busy-body Beatrice Newgarden meet to share recipes, they begin to open their lives and hearts as well.
Exchanging such delectable Southern recipes as "Twila's Chicken Pie," "Earnstine's Corn Relish," and "Real Friendship Cake," these women offer nourishment for each other's souls, too, for each is struggling to make sense of her life-her past, her relationships, and her faith.
