Query: Lovable Characters

I was surprised to find recipes in a novel - first time for that and I loved it. Even tried a few. The story and the characters in this book were just wonderful. I felt so warm reading this story about a small town girl growing up with lovable friends and family. I certainly needed an uplifting story after all the depressing ones I've read lately. This book reminds me of the old black & white TV show, "Father Knows Best" where parents are loving and kids are normal! Good for you, Karen!
