A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Aquaflame64
I've never been in love before, and I've never had to lose someone I've been in love with. Thanks to this book I have an idea of what it would be like though. The author is able to do a brilliant job of conveying emotions, and all the characters are so developed that you feel their pain and their hope. To me this is the sign of a brilliant author. When I'm able to pick up a book and be transported to another place then I know I have a fantastic read on my hands. This book is about the healing process of a woman who is dealing with losing her husband in Katrina. You will cry when you read this so keep a box of tissues on hand. The author was able to find the perfect balance of things to make sure that this book would feel like it could happen in the real world. Each character is fully developed and a joy to read about, especially the little girl when she helped the main character heal. The main character was a strong woman dealing with a tough situation, but she was doing her best to overcome. Overall this is a brilliant book about the healing process, and how to fix your life when you lose the biggest part of the puzzle. I believe this book should be read by everyone.

Book Blurb for A Pinch of Love
With a little bit of flour and a pinch of love, anything is possible... Rose-Ellen "Zell" Carmichael Roy doesn't cook, but she wears her late husband Nick's camouflage apron every day. That's her widow style. It's been more than a year since Nick's tragic death during a post- Katrina relief mission in New Orleans, but Zell can't bring herself to move on. Then, a postman's error spurs her to enter a baking contest in the hopes of donating the grand prize to the hurricane survivors in Nick's memory. After Zell's first attempt at baking goes embarrassingly awry, she meets Ingrid Knox-her motherless nine-year-old neighbor-and the two forge an unlikely friendship that will alter both their lives forever.
