Product Description

Product Description
I wrapped up my grandmother's tea cup collection and my mother's china, then grabbed a violin I'd hidden way back in my closet that made me cry, a gold necklace with a dolphin that my father gave me two weeks before he died of a heart attack when I was twelve and, at midnight, with that moon as bright as the blazes, I left Chicago. When Jeanne Stewart stops at The Opera Man's Cafe in Weltana, Oregon, to eat pancakes for the first time in twelve years, she has no idea she's also about to order up a whole new future. It's been barely a week since she succumbed to a spectacularly public nervous breakdown in front of hundreds of the nation's most important advertising and PR people. Jeanne certainly had her reasons - her mother's recent death, the discovery that her boyfriend had been sleeping with a dozen other women, and the assault charges that resulted when Jeanne retaliated in a creative way against him, involving condoms and peanut oil.Now, en route to her brother's house in Portland, Jeanne impulsively decides to spend some time in picturesque Weltana. Staying at a B&B run by the eccentric, endearing Rosvita, she meets a circle of quirky new friends at her court-ordered Anger Management classes. Like Jeanne, all of them are trying to become better, braver versions of themselves. Yet the most surprising discoveries are still to come - a good man who steadily makes his way into her heart and a dilapidated house that with love and care might be transformed into something wholly her own, just like the new life she is slowly building, piece by piece.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seriously...one of the best books I have ever read!, 25 Aug 2008
By Teacher Kate (cornwall) - See all my reviews
Recommended this by my mother (see other review) after we both loved Julia's Chocolates (also AMAZING). Characters are absolutely superb - so eccentric and loveable - this is an absolute must-read. Pllllleeease read this - it's so, so funny. You'll fall in love with it straight away. I'm even thinking about starting a reading group because of it! It would take a lot to out-do my top 5 books but this one is a serious contender.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Quality of Publishing, 12 Dec 2008
I purchased this as a gift for a friend and the quality of the book is very low. Poor grade paper, uneven cutting of the paper giving a ragged look to the book with pages sticking out past the cover.

Very disappointing from Kensington Fiction publishing house.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Last Time I laughed this hard was reading Julia's Chocolates!, 19 Aug 2008
By Mrs. L. S. Hartgroves "daisyhart5" (Cornwall, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A brilliant follow up to Julia's Chocolates, a feisty heroine, lots of fabulous characters, love, romance, humour, booze, food and the funniest courtroom drama I have ever read. If you read nothing else this year, PLEASE read this book.
