Luscious Lemon
Feisty Ellie "Lemon" Manelli finally seems to have everything she has always wanted. Her eponymous New York restaurant has just celebrated its first anniversary, with reservations in demand. When she unexpectedly finds herself pregnant, Lemon's not quite sure how she is going to balance the stress of the growing popularity of her restaurant with caring for a baby. Her old-fashioned Southern boyfriend, Eddie, is determined to have a real family, but Lemon doesn't want to give up her independence and career and resents anyone's suggestion that she slow down. Then Ellie loses her baby, and is forced to realize that her stubbornness has damaged her relationships with her employees, her friends, and Eddie, maybe for good. Swain deals with the powerful emotions of pregnancy and miscarriage with seriousness, sensitivity, grace, and humor. The care she takes with her characters shines throughout the book, and readers are sure to respond.Aleksandra KostovskiCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
