Synopsis de l’éditeur
"We knew Martha Hawkins was special the moment we met her. Her faith, her resilience, and her passion to care for others are remarkable. If you want to be inspired, this is your story." -- Doug McMillon, president and CEO of Walmart International "The reader's attention is captured immediately by the harsh realities of her beginnings. The heart is moved as one senses her struggles; rejoices in her finding spiritual life and, thus, God's direction; and then ponders at what might yet be accomplished in the untold future of this marvelous woman. A captivating story of God's grace." -- Jerry Burden, executive director, The Gideons International "Martha Hawkins invites us into her kitchen for some heaping helpings of a life story full of pain and adversity that she transformed into a story of hard work, willpower, prayer, change, and hope. With a little help and a few open doors, Martha transformed her life and has whipped up a delicious memoir that drips with tasty Southern idiom and goes down so easy you will want to come back for a second helping. Soul food is her medium, prayer and faith her support, and hope is her message. You can't help but love the menu." -- Raymond C. Offenheiser Jr., president, Oxfam America "When you read Martha Hawkins's story, you'll be praising the heavens that this great soul food cook fought her way through hardship, pain, and mental illness to establish her restaurant. You'll come away inspired, sanctified, and hungry for a seat at her table." -- Donna Florio, Southern Living Lire la suite...
