Author Monica Comas

About the author:

Monica Comas was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. She holds a bachelor's degree in English from The Ohio State University and a master's in journalism from New York University. She's worked as a newspaper reporter, a journalist covering stocks and the economy, and a financial editor. But fiction has always been her true love. Monica lives in New York with her husband, John, and their tiny shih tzu, Poirot.

In Recipe for Joy, Belle Sutton is a little lost these days.

She has a stalled career, a New York apartment she can't afford, and her sister, Lexie, is more estranged with each passing year. Belle's one true consolation is her beloved grandmother, who's powered through her own broken family ties with a tenacious zest for life and a passion for cooking. But when her grandmother suddenly passes away, a grieving Belle feels her only connection to the past is gone forever.

That's when Belle receives a series of letters, along with a cookbook, photographs of Belle and Lexie when they were young and happy, and her grandmother's last wish that the sisters mend severed ties before it's too late. For the love of Gran, a challenge is met that sets Belle and Lexie on a journey of hope, reconciliation, surprising discoveries, and the nourishing power of family, forgiveness, and tradition. All they have to do is follow the directions.
