This afternoon, I read the book all at once, I couldn't put it down. I got to the end there is a letter from her and one from her husband, and one to her children. I'll read it soon, but right now I have to get the chicken out of the oven. Meals should be more than food. I read that in this book. It's not all about the food on the table it's about who is at the table nourishing our bodies and our souls.
That's it, peace for your soul.
Kara introduces the reader to her childhood, which wasn't so happy due to a father that wasn't able to show his love in a conventional way. She shares about the special love she has for her Grandmother and her visits at grandma's home. She shares about how she met and married her husband. There are more sad parts than just her illness of Cancer. But, she pushes on and learns to enjoy each moment, each sip of tea, each sunset. You know the things we should all enjoy. Slow down and enjoy each other, the wind whistling thorough the trees, the warmth of sunshine, the rain, all of it.
About the book:
