This was entertaining all the way through, an emotional rollercoaster. I began rooting for each of the characters-even those with sour attitudes at first. This reader got involved with each person's unique life and desperation, from a lawyer on the cusp of ruin to a dad losing touch with his family to a pregnant mom in dire need of support. The author also gives a glimpse of authentic Madison, Wisconsin, which I know well. This is a delightful debut novel filled with humor and hope."

A young mom, a hotshot lawyer, a beleaguered landscaper, and a feisty widow sign up for a writers’ workshop hosted by a professor who doesn’t want to be there.
Their families, careers, and even the city they love depend on whether they champion each other’s stories or write one another off.
Join Professor Harrington and his students as they eat and critique their way through Madison, Wisconsin’s downtown food scene and struggle to get their stories—and lives—just right before the Christmas deadline.
