Nursing a heart broken by her love Jake Byler when he left the faith, Katy moves on and recovers in a life of peace and simplicity.

Whether you're drawn in by the aroma of warm bread, the rhythm of planting seasons, or the stories held within every shared meal, this book invites you to slow down, gather close, and rediscover the richness that comes when we eat with intention and live in harmony with the earth.  Meet the Author:  Welcome to my writing world.
