Delicious Foods

If I could have recorded my emotions while reading this they would be:
interested
charmed
enthralled
horrified
angry
sickened
gut punched
empathetic
heart broken
suspicious
bored
horrified again
angry
very, very angry
hopeful

I made two mistakes with this book. First, I thought it was a modern day fairy tale and I went into it expecting to be horrified and charmed and saddened with loss. Then, I made mistake number two and read the reviews and found out this is based on real events. The horrified level went up, up, up.
It also elevated the importance of this story in my mind by ten-fold. This is a difficult read, this is a moving read, this is a good read.
The writing is excellent and I will admit there were some parts in which there was some poetic waxing and my reader brain screamed, “Who cares! Get back to the story at the farm!”
Delicious Foods is not a fairy tale, no matter what Scotty might have you think.
