Details:

The author of The Cake Therapist returns with another sweet and emotional tale featuring Neely, the baker with a knack for finding exactly the right flavor for any occasion...   A crisp tang of citrus that is at once poignant and familiar, sharpening the senses and opening the mind to possibilities once known and long forgotten...   Claire “Neely” Davis is no ordinary pastry chef. Her flavor combinations aren’t just a product of a well-honed palate: she can “taste” people’s emotions, sensing the ingredients that will touch her customers’ souls. Her gift has never failed her—until she meets a free-spirited bride-to-be and her overbearing society mother. The two are unable to agree on a single wedding detail, and their bickering leaves Neely’s intuition frustratingly silent—right when she needs it most.   Between trying to navigate a divorce, explore a new relationship, and handle the reappearance of her long-absent father, Neely is struggling to make sense of her own conflicting emotions, much less those of her hard-to-please bride. But as she embarks on a flavorful quest to craft the perfect wedding celebration, she’ll uncover a family history that sheds light on both the missing ingredients and her own problems—and illustrates how the sweet and sour in life often combine to make the most delicious memories...

Reviews:

Fertig's follow-up to The Cake Therapist allows readers to experience the process that Neely goes through to discover long-buried secrets about her past. Through different scents and flavors, emotions are intertwined with memories as Neely uses them to help herself and others heal and move forward to a brighter future. This is a deeply meaningful story that will allow readers to examine their own lives as well.  RT Book Reviews The author does a great job weaving multiple stories from the past and present together, so that the reader sees connections before Neely does. It's not every debut author who can handle going back and forth in time, but I think because Fertig was a cookbook author first, she understands memory and associations very well, and that allows her to make the timelines blend very well!  Nicole Henke, Bless Their Hearts Mom book blogger What if there were a pastry chef who could tap into your emotions with such clairvoyance that your soul would be the better for eating her sweets? Claire

"Neely" Davis is that chef and author Judith Fertig brings her back in this follow-up to  The Cake Therapist . EverydayEBook A lot of ingredients, but Fertig, a cookbook author as well as a novelist, manages to whip them into a satisfying confection. The description of sweet treats is yummy. . . ." Booklist Her superb storytelling in this series deftly weaves rich characters in and out, pat and present, always bringing you back to Neely and what

"flavor" she gets. You won't be able to put these books down. Feast Magazine This was really a fantastic, quick read.
