Recipes and Relationships

 The Divine Proverb of Streusel by Sara Brunsvold

Nikki Werner is at her wits end to know what to do with her life.  Her father has divorced her mother and according to a social media post, has recently remarried.  She is confused and afraid to move forward with her own relationship with her boyfriend, Isaac.  After school is out for the summer, she takes off for her grandmother’s farmhouse and her Uncle Wes, a virtual stranger.  The summer away, time with her relatives and her grandmother’s handwritten recipes help her to rediscover her roots and mend the broken places in her life.

This book contains some endearing characters.  Uncle Wes and Joyce were some of my favorites.  I loved how Nikki matured and came to understand her father better through the stories of her relatives.

The plot and characters kept me engaged with the book and provided a satisfying ending.  I think other readers will enjoy this book also, especially those who have experienced broken family relationships and need the hope of reconciliation.  I am grateful to the publisher for the complimentary copy of this digital book in exchange for my honest review.
