But when he weds Pearl Parker, he gets more than he bargained for, much more. How could he have known that under that rough appearance hid an intelligent and regal beauty with her own ideas of marriage? Ah, those violet eyes should have given him a clue.

Though she knows he is a scoundrel, she comes to believe in his innate goodness.

These are some of my favorite family recipes, some of which characters share in my books. The recipe for chicken and dumplings is from my own grandmother, who was left a widow in Tennessee and bravely took her children West to seek a better life. The applesauce cake recipe is from my cousin, Rita Jo Phifer Nettles. The others are my own recipes, gathered and altered over my lifetime. I hope you enjoy them all.
