When Lemons Give You Life by Anna Johnston

Food keeps us focused and happy, and Griff found out he somehow needed to get back into cooking.

Griff is a five-star chef currently faking dementia in a nursing home.


Griff is ready to end his life, but he sneaks into the kitchen at nights and starts cooking for himself and the residents because they won’t eat because of the awful food in the nursing home.


He realizes there is something to live for.


Griff’s only visitor is his half sister who has problems of her own and who hasn’t spoken to Griff for a long time.


Will her visits help him and help their relationship?


Will the food preparation at night help Griff and all the residents?


Find out how everything turns out in this sweet, uplifting read.


You will love Griff and also share in the heartbreak of the story about his friend dying from dementia.


You will also laugh out loud and at times need tissues. 5/5
