There’s just one little snag in their vision. Angus, a weary, beloved local, is strongly opposed to his neighborhood’s gentrification—and his concerns reflect the suspicion of the community. Shocked by their reception, Addie and Samantha begin to have second thoughts. As the long hours, problematic love interests, and underhanded pressures mount, the two women find themselves increasingly at odds, and soon their problems threaten everything they’ve worked for. If they are going to realize their dreams, Addie and Samantha must focus on rebuilding their relationship. But will the neighborhood open their hearts to welcome them home? MY REVIEW The first thing I have to say about THE WELCOME HOME DINER by Peggy Lampman is this story will make you so hungry!!!! With mouth-watering descriptions of food throughout, I could almost taste the rich pancakes drizzled in maple syrup, so my advice is make a cup of tea and have a lovely piece of cake to hand when you settle down to read this touching novel. Addie and Samantha are two cousins who have poured their heart and soul into their new business venture, their diner with a difference, and have created a unique and special place with special people. But when some of the locals seem to have it out for them, they must band together to figure out who is behind it all. With pressure and problems in their personal lives as well as their business, trouble seems to be following them wherever they go. But can love, friendship, and community spirit save the day for the Welcome Home diner? I really enjoyed this story of family, friendship, and finding your place in a community as the characters passion for their city, its people, and their food shines through on every page. This book contains a multitude of characters from all walks of life that will find their way into your heart, and make you think about life. THE WELCOME HOME DINER by Peggy Lampman is a warm and satisfying story and I highly recommend it. Author Bio: Wow! I can't believe THE WELCOME HOME DINER is being published on October 10. This is a book dear to my heart as my former daughter-in-law opened a diner in Detroit. I spent hours in that restaurant, ate a lot of wonderful meals and, most importantly, tried to absorb the culture. My passion is writing novels using food-centric themes to break down familial and cultural barriers.THE WELCOME HOME DINER is my second book of what I refer to as "grit-lit". Creating a cast to populate a story is one of the great, cathartic joys of writing. Of particular pleasure to me is developing flawed characters-living in and reconciling with-the shadows cast by their equally flawed parents. That being said, there’s lots of humor and romance in the book, as well (-: I hope you find the tale an enjoyable read!
