title: Love and Meatballs
author: Volland, Susan
description: A delightful, laugh-out-loud debut novel featuring a 30- something heroine and her big Italian restaurant-owning family.
  
  For Jo Cerbone, being a good daughter means working at the family restaurant alongside her meddlesome brothers, her opinionated sister, and her larger-than-life parents. While she knows she's blessed to have such a big, loving family, it doesn't stop her from indulging in a little secret getaway once in a while--just for the sake of her sanity.
  
  Now isn't exactly the time for any earth-shattering changes. But as Jo suddenly finds herself torn between two different guys--and fighting an assault on her family's livelihood--she starts to realize that life offers a pretty extensive menu, if you have the courage to try.
