The Sweetness of Honey (A Hope Springs Novel)
“The chocolate wasn’t exactly black, but close enough to serve as one of Halloween’s traditional colors. The orange spoke for itself.
It was a strange holiday this year, not being home to give out candy to costumed kids, but she liked this new circle of friends she found herself a part of. All because seven months ago Kaylie had wanted a garden, and Tennessee had wanted to give Kaylie everything. That it had taken her brother’s love for a woman to get him to reach out to her might have given Indiana pause if she, too, didn’t find Kaylie irresistible.
Through Kaylie, she’d met Luna; her husband, Angelo; and Kaylie’s father, Mitch Pepper. Mitch had been a constant around Kaylie’s house as she prepared again—second time being a charm, the first delayed by a fire—to open Two Owls Café. Kaylie baked most of her own brownies, but Mitch, along with his new wife, Dolly (they’d surprised everyone by getting married last Saturday), would be responsible for the daily buffet of casserole, ...salad, and the best hot rolls Indiana had ever eaten in her life, the recipe handed down to Kaylie by the foster mother with whom she’d lived in the very house she now owned.MoreLess
