I found this book difficult to read at first, but the further I got into it, the more I liked it. Revolving around three main characters, it takes place in a fictional area of South Carolina, but reads like it should be in Louisiana or Florida swamp lands.
Sabrina and Mariah have been called back to help their grandma after their grandpa had a stroke. Grandma needs help finishing the refurbishing of Tabby's Meats and Sweets restaurant. Both girls have experience and their own unique set of skills to bring to the table. The thing is they both have a rather contentious relationship. Sabrina doesn't understand the animosity Mariah has toward her and Mariah doesn't quite have a full grasp on it herself. As the two girls work together to get the restaurant off the ground, they both delve into their history and find out who they really are.
By the end of the book, I found myself drawn in and consumed by the plot. Rhonda McKnight writes in such a way that women of all colors find themselves in her stories and find points of common interest with the characters. I have to imagine that Rhonda is as beautiful a woman as she writes her characters to be.
This is a five star book, with two thumbs up, and a jar cake to tickle your taste buds.
