Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Lisa Richardson
A Warm & Luscious Read
It's a book to cherish. More than just a story, it will make you take stock of what's important in life, and see how we can all make a difference by the small things we do in our lives. I laughed and cried, and then I got a bag of starter out of my freezer.

I found myself caring about each of the characters in the book, and they came across as real, like my neighbors and friends. I can't believe anyone would regret reading this book, and it will add to your appreciation of your life, good and bad. It also makes you want to get up and start baking!

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Jeanne M. (Vancouver, WA)
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.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Karen D. (Dedham, MA)
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.

Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by Mary M. (Lexington, KY)
Heartwarming not mushy
I liked this book. There are a lot of diverse characters in the book, but the author manages to make them interesting and relatable. Exchanging the bread and the starter brings the characters together. New friendships are formed and through these friendships the characters are able to overcome past adversity and become stronger and happier. The recipes at the end of the book are a nice bonus.

Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by Daveann D. (Eureka, MO)
Warm and Comforting
A warm, sweet and comforting novel about a town and the bread that brings them together. A great read worth sharing!

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Jean N. (New Richmond, OH)
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...
