Last Bite

"Last Bite will appeal to readers who enjoy smart, character-driven women's fiction with a dash of cozy mystery; fans of Fannie Flag, Janet Evanovich, or Maria Temple will feel right at home." Chicago Book Review

In the heart of Chicago, recently widowed forty-five-year-old Angie Sortino finds herself at a crossroads. After she discovers that her deceased husband has left her penniless, Angie's spirited niece, Gina, and Gina's best friend, Kim, approach her with the idea of starting a catering company targeting funeral parlors. Angie embarks on this new venture, discovering the challenges of the catering business.

Through late-night brainstorming sessions and spontaneous cooking experiments, Angie begins to find her voice, both in the kitchen and in her life-and ultimately, with the support of a respected funeral director, Gina and Kim, and an unexpected new love interest, she learns to embrace her worth and pursue happiness.
