Since childhood, Ida Mae Hoscutt, the beloved proprietress of the Come and Get It Diner, has loved Charles “Chuck” Farrow from afar. Now on the eve of her thirty-ninth birthday with no marriage proposal in sight, Ida Mae mourns past mistakes and contemplates a makeover. When a radio commercial wrenches Ida Mae’s heart, will a sudden turn of events sabotage her chance for happiness or will a long-held secret be the answer to love ever-after?
As Ida Mae’s right-hand man at the Come and Get It, Chuck yearns to shift gears and start over. He’s ready to shelve bachelorhood and blunders in favor of possibilities and new beginnings. When he prepares to move forward, two things challenge his objective. One is the father who walked away and never looked back. The other? A decades-old question that only Ida Mae can answer.
And Ida Mae isn’t talking.
Everything I have
heard about this author have been positive, so I wanted to find out for myself if
I would agree with all of the glowing remarks and reviews, and I wholeheartedly
agree. I felt right at home in Ruby,
Missouri with Ida Mae and Chuck at The Come and Get It Diner.
Ida Mae and Chuck
have been friends since childhood, she has loved him since then and as her 39th
birthday approaches, she wants more than that.
I was just as perplexed as the next person why these two hadn’t made
progress in their relationship until I read more of their story which by the way
is amazing. The journey the author
takes her readers on is filled with secrets, food, heartaches and a community
in a town that I wish existed. Ms. Herron brings her characters to life with
her gifted storytelling and I will definitely read more of her work.
I received an e-copy
of this book, all opinions expressed are my own.
