The Comfort Food Diaries

Emily Nunn loses her brother to suicide and breaks up with her fiancé, and in one night she finds herself without a family or home or income. She sets out on a quest to put her world back together again by visiting friends and learning how to cook their favorite comfort meals.

I loved the stories, and I loved her quest, and I loved the recipes she discovered. It's a comfort of a book, and I think you will find yourself happier just for reading it, and even happier if you try a few of the recipes, especially Great-grandmother's Mean Lemon Cake or Aunt Mariah's Rolls or a Pot of Pinto Beans.
