Description: Teresa DiRosa believes that life, like fine food, is made special by mixing together the best ingredients: time, patience, and a lot of love. Owner of a thriving catering business, Bread and Roses, she has turned the feeding of bodies -- and souls -- into her life's work. Now, with her niece Christine, best friend and bookkeeper Delia, and baker Amberlin, Teresa is gearing up for Bread and Roses' biggest event of the year: their Christmas open house.

But as Teresa juggles recipes and party decorations, her personal life is spinning out of control. Her divorce is barely final when a handsome acquaintance hints that he'd like to be more than just friends. Her son has broken her heart by choosing to spend Christmas with his father. And Christine is engaged to marry a prominent psychologist -- but seems to be losing her own grip on sanity as her wedding approaches. When she arrives distraught in the midst of the preparty cooking marathon, Teresa is the only one who can save her. The radical steps she takes to rescue her niece shock everyone -- but with Delia's and Amberlin's help, Teresa feeds Christine a healthy dose of courage, wisdom, and love, in a wholly original can't-fail recipe for the ages.
