Mama's Recipe Meghan Bellamy

How do our relationships shape the way we experience pain? How do they help us heal? After a bad breakup, Eleanora Herbatross finds herself working a job she hates in a city she hates; with few companions other than her beloved boxer Huey. When Christmas rolls around, her younger sister shows up bearing surprising news and a guilt trip back to their parent's house for the holidays...after almost a decade away. Eleanora, armed scarcely by a sharp wit and biting sass, agrees to go home-where she will be forced to not only reconcile with the mother she's grown distant from, but also to reconcile with herself. Mama's Recipe is a tangled tale of mothers and their daughters, following Eleanora's messy journey back to the people who care the most for her-a healing process which is catalyzed and often lightened by the family's loud-mouthed and equally sassy matriarch, Ms. Evie. The collision of stories over three generations can bind these women together in forgiveness and solidarity, if they will allow it.
