Eating Heaven
Jennie Shortridge
“Funny, sexy, smart, and heartbreakingly real,”* Jennie
Shortridge’s bestelling debut Riding With the Queen “hit
all the right notes.”** Now comes a story about one woman’s
quest to make peace with her plus-size body, forgive the
past—and, along the way, discover the meaning of true
love... 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 Eleanor’s whole world is torn apart. Unlike
her sisters, she has neither a husband nor a full-time job,
so it’s up to Eleanor to care for her ailing uncle. What at
first seems scary and daunting becomes a blessing in
disguise. Because while she’s doing all that cooking and
nurturing—and enjoying 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...
