FEATURING: Recipe for a Perfect Wife by Karma Brown



HISTORICAL FICTION - CHICK LIT

An old house, an old cookbook, notes in the cookbook that reveal the life of Nellie, and Alice who has some secrets of her own is what the reader finds in this lovely read.

RECIPE FOR A PERFECT WIFE is an endearing and nostalgic trip back in time with the letters taking us back to the 1950’s and influencing Alice’s present-day life.

A truly, enjoyable, makes-you-feel-good read.
