Barbara Chepaitis -- a new and truly one-of-a-kind voice in
women's fiction -- skillfully explores the powerful

An exciting new voice in women’s
fiction, Barbara Chepaitis has penned a deft and delicious
debut that explores the camaraderie shared by four
exceptional women. Witty, acute, and infused with the warmth
of a timeless family kitchen, Feeding Christine is a
delightful ode to the unbreakable bond that exists between
true friends.
Teresa DiRosa believes that life, like fine food, is made
special by mixing together the best ingredients: time,
patience, and a lot of love. Owner of a thriving catering
business, Bread and Roses, she has turned the feeding of
bodies and souls into her life’s work.
Now, with her niece Christine, best friend and bookkeeper
Delia, and baker Amberlin, Teresa is gearing up for Bread
and Roses’ biggest event of the year: their holiday open
house. But as Teresa juggles recipes and decorations, her
personal life is spinning out of control.
Her divorce is barely final when a handsome acquaintance
hints that he’d like to be more than just friends. Her son
has chosen to spend Christmas with his father. And her niece
seems to be losing her grip on sanity as her wedding to a
prominent psychologist approaches.
When Christine arrives distraught in the midst of the
preparty cooking marathon, only Teresa can save her. The
radical steps she takes to rescue her niece shock everyone,
but with Delia’s and Amberlin’s help, Teresa feeds Christine
a healthy dose of courage, wisdom, and love, in a wholly
original, can’t-fail recipe for the ages. |
