Welcome to Litsy!

From the bestselling author of See Jane Date and The Secret of Joy comes a charming, warm-hearted story about a woman�s search for happiness after inheriting her grandmother�s cooking school. When Holly Maguire inherits �Camilla�s Cucinotta,� her late grandmother�s home-based Italian cooking school in Blue Crab Island, Maine, twelve of the sixteen students for the upcoming fall class drop out. After all, Holly isn�t a seventy-five-year-old Milanese love goddess, whose secret sauces had aphrodisiac properties and whose kitchen table fortune-telling often came true. Holly, a broken-hearted thirty-year-old who�s never found her niche, can barely cook at all. But she�s determined to keep her beloved grandmother�s legacy alive. Armed with Camilla�s hand-scrawled recipe book, Holly welcomes her students: apprentice Mia, a twelve-year-old desperate to learn to cook Italian to stop her divorced father from marrying his ditzy girlfriend; Juliet, Holly�s childhood friend grieving for her newborn�and the marriage she left behind on the mainland; Simon, struggling to be an every-other-weekend dad to his young son after his wife left him; and Tamara, a single thirty-something yearning for love. Mixing fervent wishes and bittersweet memories with simmering sauces and delectable Italian dishes, Holly and the students of The Love Goddess� Cooking School create their own recipes for happiness and become masters of their own fortunes.
