Eating Heaven
ByPublisher Description
Nothing gets Eleanor Samuels's heart racing like a double scoop of mocha fudge chunk. Sure, the magazine writer may have some issues aside from food, but she isn't quite ready to face them. Then her beloved Uncle Benny falls ill, and what at first seems scary and daunting becomes a blessing in disguise. Because while she cooks and cares for him-and enjoys a delicious flirtation with a new chef in town-Eleanor begins to uncover some long-buried secrets about her emotionally frayed family and may finally get the chance to become the woman she's always wanted to be.

“"Eating Heaven" by Jennie Shortridge is a beautifully crafted novel that resonates deeply with readers seeking an uplifting and transformative experience. The story revolves around themes of love, loss, and the quest for personal fulfillment, all woven together with a rich tapestry of relatable characters and poignant moments.
From the very beginning, Shortridge's writing draws you in with its vivid descriptions and emotional depth. The protagonist's journey is not just a physical one; it is also an exploration of the heart and soul. As she navigates the complexities of her relationships and her own identity, readers are invited to reflect on their own lives and the choices that shape them.
One of the standout elements of "Eating Heaven" is its exploration of food as a metaphor for connection and healing. The way Shortridge intertwines culinary experiences with the characters' emotional journeys adds a layer of richness to the narrative. Food becomes a symbol of comfort, nostalgia, and the bonds that tie us to one another, making the story all the more relatable and heartwarming.
The characters are well-developed and multi-dimensional, each facing their own struggles and triumphs. Shortridge does an excellent job of portraying their vulnerabilities, making it easy for readers to empathize with their experiences. The friendships and relationships that evolve throughout the story are both realistic and inspiring, showcasing the power of human connection in overcoming life's challenges.
Moreover, the pacing of the novel is just right, allowing readers to savor each moment while still feeling the momentum of the plot. The balance between light-hearted moments and more serious themes creates a dynamic reading experience that keeps you engaged from start to finish.”

“Really enjoyed...
Wasn't able to put down for the last 100 pages - at least..
Not a "Beach Read" even though it looks like it is....
Lots of "issues", with humor and depth.
Tissues for the end...”
