Forgiveness and friendship
Sometimes the hardest person to forgive is yourself. This book is about forgiveness, healing and the power of friendships. I read this book in record time because I was invested in the characters and wanted to see how their lives turned out. The warmth of the writing makes me want to not only bake the friendship bread but move to Avalon! I can't wait to pass this book on to my friends and family.

Friendship Bread
I loved the book and couldn't put it down. It made me think about friendships we have with friends, family and community citizens. I wish I had a piece of the Amish Bread right now. I'm sure anyone who reads this book will enjoy it. I have a few friends who want to read it now. I can't wait for her to write another book. It's very encouraging to go out of your way for friends.

Friendship Bread
I enjoyed this book very much. I've told so many people about this book- I think Friendship Bread will make the rounds in our small community. It was fun to see what happened when one loaf of bread was left on a doorstep...that was only the beginning of a great story!
Thanks to the recipes provided in the book, our own Friendship Bread adventure will soon begin in New Richmond...

Friendship Bread
This book is an easy read. It is filled with believable characters, good plot and a lovely concept. Friendship Bread is a book about sharing and the array of options that one is given in life to practice living and sharing. As I read about the small town created for the story I found that I wanted to go visit, get to know some of the people there and enjoy a cup of tea. I enjoyed reading this book very much!

Friendship Bread Rises to the Occasion
Delightful glimpse into the families in a small town, and how the introduction of Friendship Bread impacts their lives Whether it is the person making the bread or receiving the bread, their lives are altered and the small town ultimately makes their town rather famous!
This book is a wonderful intertwining of lives, that charmed me into finding out how each family is impacted by their taste of Friendship Bread. I loved reading this book--a light sweet "cake" of a book that I will share with friends and neighbors.

Great Read
This is a memorable book. Women and their friendships can be so heart warming. I loved reading this book. I like having the recipe and hope to make a starter soon. I liked the closeness of the small town and how life changes meeting just one person.

Loved it!
I JUST finished this book and couldn't wait to let everyone know that I consider it one of the best books, about women & their relationships, I've ever read! Book clubs would get a lot of discussion with this one, and that's something we always look forward to having.
I would recommend Friendship Bread to women of all ages...and men who would like to understand them. ;o) My only disappointment was that it ended.
Stranger than fiction, blending tragedy and farce, How to Create the Perfect Wife is an engrossing tale of the radicalism, and deep contradictions, at the heart of the Enlightenment.
Z, the novel about the life of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald is at points charming and; like another reviewer, I kept thinking of the movie, "Midnight...
