A stunningly beautiful story about the bonds of family, self discovery and searching for your roots.

Tempesté lost her mother as a teenager and has just recently lost her father as an adult. Pushed aside by her brother and her paternal grandmother for years, she longs for the beautiful memories she has of her mother. Deciding it’s time for a change, she packs up and heads to a quaint little French town where her mother grew up.

This one decision puts her on a path that will change her life forever. She learns about her family and herself, finding her strength and a whole new group of people to call her own.

This was a lovely read that feels like a big hug. There is so much talk of the comfort of food, the ways in which it can be infused with good feelings and intention, set against an incredible French countryside backdrop.

This was such a joy to read and I loved every single moment.
