Kate spends her days cooking for weddings, funerals, showers and socialite parties, and she has some big questions. Honestly, was it a great idea to start a catering company with her sister, who recently had a baby? Who is the strange woman, Lucille, insisting Kate cater a retirement party? The same woman selling lemonade in a yellow polka dotted bathing suit in the middle of a Carolina cold snap. And what’s the big deal in getting a hunting license to hang out with Pop when he’s grieving the love of his life?
Kate Wallace is trying to find love with all the wrong men in her life: the fickle ex-fiancé, her childhood best friend with whom she has no chemistry and a handsome college student who tempts Kate with his winning personality. But all sorts of things begin to change when Lucille shows up in Kate’s life, like believing that donut choices matter. And when the answers lead to discovering her mysterious family’s past, the truth pushes Kate toward the one thing she never dared to do – leave home to find her own way in life.
Slightly Glazed, with its endearing cast of characters, is a timeless treasure as sweet as its name. Kate’s first-person narrative and comic, unassuming, self-effacing voice endear her to readers from start to finish.
I have enclosed the first five pages and certainly would be an enthusiastic partner for promoting the Wallace family!
