Summary:
"From the moment
Julia
Bennett leaves her abusive Boston fiancé at the altar and her ugly wedding dress hanging from a tree in North Dakota, she knows she's driving away from the old
Julia
, but what she's driving toward is as messy and undefined as her own wounded soul. The old
Julia
dug her way out of a tortured, trailer park childhood with a monster of a mother. The new
Julia
will be found at her Aunt Lydia'
s
rambling, hundred-year-old farmhouse outside Golden, Oregon. There, among uppity chickens and toilet bowl planters,
Julia
is welcomed by an eccentric, warm, and often wise clan of women, including a psychic, a minister's unhappy wife, an abused mother of four, and Aunt Lydia herself--a woman who is as fierce and independent as they come. Meeting once a week for drinks and the baring of souls, it becomes clear that every woman holds secrets that keep her from happiness. But what will it take for them to brave becoming their true selves? For
Julia
, it'
s
chocolate. All her life, baking has been her therapy and her refuge, a way to heal wounds and make friends. Nobody anywhere makes
chocolates
as good as
Julia
's, and now, chocolate just might change her life--and bring her love when she least expects it. But it can't keep her safe. As
Julia
gradually opens her heart to new life, new friendships, and a new man, the past is catching up to her. And this time, she will not be able to run but will have to face it head on. Filled with warmth, love, and truth,
Julia
's
Chocolates
is an unforgettable novel of hope and healing that explores the hurts we keep deep in our hearts, the love that liberates us, the courage that defines us, and the chocolate that just might take us there."--Publisher.
