About this item
From the acclaimed author of The Thing About Home comes The Recipe for Redemption, a compelling dual-timeline novel set against the rich backdrop of Lowcountry South Carolina. This story delves into the intricate bonds of sisterhood, the complexities of family, and the redemptive power of new beginnings.
The Present
When Mariah Clark and Sabrina Holland are called to Georgetown, South Carolina, they believe their ailing grandfather's condition is worsening. Instead, they're confronted with their grandmother’s final wish: save the family restaurant. For Mariah, recently divorced and reeling from the collapse of her own diner, the request feels like a burden she’s unwilling to bear. Sabrina, on the other hand, is living out of her van with hopes of building a stable future for herself and her daughter. She sees the restaurant as a potential lifeline for her baking dreams but struggles with Mariah’s reluctance and their unresolved sibling tensions.
The Past
In the early twentieth century, Tabitha Cooper, reeling from a failed romance, finds herself in Charleston, determined to build a future for her children. Through her culinary skills, she turns humble ingredients into a beloved legacy, establishing a successful restaurant that will become a cornerstone of her family’s history.
As Mariah and Sabrina uncover letters from Tabitha that illuminate her challenges and triumphs, they confront their own past and present conflicts. In doing so, they begin to understand how to reconcile their differences and embrace the future with hope. The Recipe for Redemption is a poignant exploration of family, forgiveness, and the enduring power of food to heal and unite.
