In The
Recipe Box, bestselling beloved author Viola Shipman spins a tale about a
lost young woman and the family recipe box that changes her life.
Growing up in northern Michigan, Samantha “Sam”
Mullins felt trapped on her family’s orchard and pie shop, so she left with
dreams of making her own mark in the world. But life as an overworked,
undervalued sous chef at a reality star’s New York bakery is not what Sam
dreamed.
When the chef embarrasses Sam, she quits and
returns home. Unemployed, single, and defeated, she spends a summer working on
her family’s orchard cooking and baking alongside the women in her
life―including her mother, Deana, and grandmother, Willo. One beloved,
flour-flecked, ink-smeared recipe at a time, Sam begins to learn about and
understand the women in her life, her family’s history, and her passion for
food through their treasured recipe box.
As Sam
discovers what matters most she opens her heart to a man she left behind, but
who now might be the key to her happiness.
