BOUQUETS OF PRAISE FOR

Christmas Chocolat

 

“Magali, Colette, and Jacqueline are sisters living separate lives in separate parts of the world, but the ties that bind them tighten when their father demands their presence for Christmas at their childhood home in Pennsylvania. Filled with romance, adventure, and food, Christmas Chocolat is like a cup of chocolat chaud on a cold day. It is both funny and sad, hilarious and heart-warming. A terrific debut.”

—T. Greenwood, author of Bodies of Water,
Two Rivers, and Grace

 

“Like sitting down to your favorite meal with a close friend, Kate Defrise’s debut novel is many kinds of wonderful at once: warm, nourishing, irresistible. I thoroughly enjoyed this delicious story.”

—Shilpi Somaya Gowda, author of Secret Daughter

 

“A confection of a novel, Christmas Chocolat is filled with the sugared scents of a holiday kitchen, forgiveness, and the endurance of family love. Fans of Mary Kay Andrews and Dana Bate will gobble this up!”

—Heather Webb, author of Rodin’s Lover
