Review by Marlene Engel
As an
attorney, Sophie Enright, is passionate about her job. But when she finds her boyfriend in the back
seat of his car with another woman, she starts to reevaluate what she wants out
of life and where she wants to be.
Knowing that she needs to get away for a bit, she decides to go to St.
Dennis, Maryland to visit her brother. While
there, he tries to talk Sophie into joining the family law firm. But it’s not the law firm that has Sophie
considering relocating. It’s the
abandoned restaurant, which at first glance isn’t aesthetically pleasing, but
that Sophie sees lots of potential in.
There’s just
something about that old restaurant that Sophie is drawn to. Although there’s much work that needs to be
done before it can be a full functioning restaurant again, Sophie is up for the
challenge. Now she just needs to
convince the owner to sell. But is
Sophie getting in over her head? Her only
experience with restaurants is when she worked at Shelby’s Diner while in
college. But the memories of that job
are the most happy and enjoyable of any job she’s ever had.
I can’t even
begin to express how much I love this book!
From the very beginning I found myself rooting for Sophie. Despite some trials and tribulations, she
refuses to allow life to defeat her! Her
strength and determination are infectious and I don’t think that the author
could have written her character any better!
This is a must read for any woman desiring a book about strength,
courage and following your dreams!
