Quotes from Lisa Wingate

I am reading a really good book called "The Summer Kitchen" by Lisa Wingate!  From the back of the book:  "In this moving story of second chances, an unlikely pair of friends will realize the ability of one person to make a difference--and the power of what becomes known as the Summer Kitchen to nourish the soul."

When I did a search for other books by Lisa Wingate, I find that I want to add them all to my 'Wish List'!  I clicked on author information in GoodReads and found her web site.  I enjoyed it so much, I wanted to share some of my 'finds' with you.  

Check out her website by clicking on the title above.  I can't comment on the rest of her books, but I can say "The Summer Kitchen" may be my first book by Lisa Wingate, but it won't be the last!

"You will find that the only thing that will really matter in your life is the LOVE you have for other people and the LOVE they have for you.  Money, career, anything else in life is useless without love."  -Grandma Rose
