Rachel Linden’s newest book, A SPRINKLE OF SWEET SERENDIPITY, is full of all the wonderful things for which she is known. Mouth-watering food descriptions are the backbone of her stories, with strong family roots, sweet romance, and a little magical realism.
The book is set in the real town of Poulsbo, Washington, known as “Little Norway” for the strong Scandinavian architecture, Viking statues, and authentic bakeries. Single mom Emmie Wynne gave up her dream job working for a famous chocolatier in Paris to help her ill parents run their struggling, kitschy candy shop as she waits for her destiny to be revealed. On an undetermined birthday, every woman in her family received a vision of her true purpose in life.
When her vision comes on her thirty-fourth birthday, she starts working towards the predetermined future of her own chocolate shop and a proposal from her celebrity TV crush. But financial set back, family responsibilities, and attraction to her old high school friend, Jakob, makes her doubt everything she has always believed. Eventually, she must decide to follow her vision or where her family ties and heart are leading her. A sweet, transporting read.
