Three women are torn between traditions of the past and unexpected new
beginnings in a warmhearted novel by Carolyn Brown about family,
romance, and the best pastries in Texas.
For Grace Dalton, her sister, Sarah, and her cousin Macy, the Devine
Doughnut Shop is a sweet family legacy and a landmark in their Texas
town. As the fourth generation to run the Double D, they keep their
great-grandmother's recipe secret and uphold the shop's tradition as a
coffee klatch for sharing local gossip, advice, and woes. But drama
brews behind the counter, too.
Grace is a single mother struggling with an unruly teenage daughter.
Heartbroken Sarah has sworn off love. Macy's impending wedding has an
unexpected hitch. And now charming developer Travis Butler has arrived
in Devine with a checkbook and a handsome smile. He wants to buy the
shop, expand it nationally, and boost the economy of a town divided by
the prospect.
With the family's relationships in flux, their beloved heritage up for
grabs, and their future in the air, it's amazing what determination,
sass, a promise of romance, and a warm maple doughnut can do to change
hearts and minds.
