The Sweetest Thing

Alex Carrigan’s life is suddenly filled with problems. His grandfather comes to live with him and he is left a twelve year old ‘daughter,’ Jessie, when his ex-wife unexpectedly dies. His ex had claimed the baby wasn’t his when they were married and they divorced. Julian, the grandfather, thinks the family is cursed because 50 years earlier he and his true love found and broke an ancient vase. He wants to find her, reunite the halves of the vase and return it to its rightful place. Enter local pastry shop owner, Faith, with her problems. All of their problems weave throughout the story and get resolved by the end. Another comfort read from Freethy.

I really wanted to give this 4 stars but the ending seemed really abrupt. I'd say this is at least 3.5 or 3.75. 4 had it wound up a little slower or expanded a bit.

this is a 'feel good' book. two people with horrible childhoods that find love. you find yourself rooting for them

Little did Faith the out spoken Baker know that deep inside Alex was a well of tenderness,with his crazy grand father and A newly found teenage daughter...Slight mystery concerning the winds and a broken bowl, which in the end made little sense.
