My book beginnings is taken from THE MEMORY OF LEMON by Judith Fertig:

 

"Lydia, the twenty-something bride-to-be, sat stony faced on the settee in my front parlor.  This was not the way I wanted to start the week.  Since I'd opened my bakery in Millcreek Valley's bridal district in January, I had learned a lot about wooing, in the business sense."

I LOVED her book THE CAKE THERAPIST.  

THE MEMORY OF LEMON is equally as good, and the familiar characters bring the nice warmth of the characters back.
