Summary, etc.:

Olivia Martindale drives to Montana in a blizzard, the storm reflecting her inner turmoil. She is trying to adopt two sisters, but it seems their abusive biological mother may soon regain custody. When Olivia's car plunges toward an icy river, her almost ex-husband, Jace, arrives to pull them to safety. Olivia and her precocious girls receive a heartwarming welcome from her gentle grandmother, blunt mother, and outspoken sister. This multigenerational family has plenty of warmth and sass and their hometown has a bevy of colorful characters who are rooting for Olivia and Jace to get back together. Olivia, a talented chef, discovers an old cookbook in the attic written in several languages, which reveals a story full of anguish that unites these four women as they work through the recipes. VERDICT Lamb (Henry's Sisters) covers too much territory with her inclusion of issues of harassment, bullying, mental health problems, drug abuse, and autism, yet there is a sweet romance and moving historical reference to how one family is damaged for generations by war and persecution.-Gloria Drake, Oswego P.L.
