In Bonnet, Texas, Liddy Latham, the queen of funeral dinners, keeps a southern comfort-food tradition aliveuntil fancy-schmancy Matilda Monroe moves back to town. She wants room at the table for her own style of consolation and closure: healthy, modern, and vegan. But this is about more than fried chicken versus tofu turkey. Matildas return is also stirring up their volatile, unresolved history. And just when they thought it couldnt get more personal Matildas son, Nick, and Liddys niece, Amelia, have met and the sparks are flying. For Matilda and Liddy, their precious kins romance is their worst nightmare. Now, its all Nick and Amelia can do to survive a family feud that has the whole town talking. The battle for the funeral dinner crown is on. As two strong-willed women wrestle for control, making peace with the past may be the only way to serve the star-crossed lovers a happy ending.
