Synopsis

After a childhood as unpredictable as the flip of a coin, Faith Sterling has finally found her comfort zone in the kitchen of an upscale Manhattan restaurant. A workaholic chef, at least there she’s in control. So when her free-spirited and often-gullible mother, Connie, calls to announce that she’s won a bed-and-breakfast on the Jersey Shore, Faith’s patience boils over. Convinced the contest is a scam, she rushes to Wave’s End to stop Connie from trading her steady job for an uncertain future.When a hurricane ravages the coast, Faith is torn between supporting the shore rescue and bailing out her beleaguered boss. But the storm dredges up deceptions and emotional debris that threaten to destroy the inn’s future and her fragile bonds with her mother.As the women struggle to salvage both the inn and their relationship, Faith begins to see herself and Connie in a new light—and to realize that some moments are better left to chance.

I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley and the author for an honest review. Faith is a NYC chef in a new up and coming restaurant.

Goodreads review by Nila on December 06, 2017

A must–read book on mother daughter relationship. Faith is exasperated with her mother’s naivety and innocent mind when she gets duped by scammers. But the latest was when she supposedly wins a bed–and–breakfast inn, Mermaid’s Purse which is nothing like the picture depicted. Faith is at wit’s end w......more
