Joan Bergstrom and Imogen Fortier understand the key to a savored life--delicious food. Young Joan is just discovering herself as a foodwriter in bustling Los Angeles, while experienced columnist Imogen is settled in her decades-long marriage on Camano Island outside Seattle. When Joan sends a fan letter to Imogen with an enclosed packet of saffron and a recipe, their journey of culinary exploration and soul-deep friendship begins. A long-lost flavor surfaces buried memories, and a quest to make carne asada opens the doors of a sheltered life. Into this beautiful, intimate world comes the ultimate test of their friendship, and of their belief that food and love can sustain us during our darkest hours.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn and raised in Washington State, \u003cb\u003eKim Fay\u003c\/b\u003e is a former bookseller and the author of \u003ci\u003eCommunion: A Culinary Journey Through Vietnam\u003c\/i\u003e, a Gourmand World Cookbook Award winner, and \u003ci\u003eThe Map of Lost Memories\u003c\/i\u003e, an Edgar Award finalist for Best First Novel.
