Between Courses: A Culinary Love Story

Karla Clark's delicious first
novel takes on the enduring themes of family, food and love. Filled with dozens of rustic Italian
recipes, this funny and touching love story offers a peek into the lives of a
spirited Italian-American family of "foodies."

Sabina
Giovanotti, waitress by day and aunt extraordinaire by night, is forty, single,
and still living above her family's folksy café in Chicago's Little Italy. Sandwiched between four sisters, all happily
married with children, and her mother and aunt, both cooks at the café, Sabina
is trying to come to terms with the fact that her life didn't turn out as
planned.

She
was supposed to marry her childhood sweetheart Vito Salina and run her family's
café with him. But a tragic accident
ripped Vito from her life...one week before their wedding...leaving Sabina stuck in
neutral, waiting for the next course of her life.

Eighteen
years later, it's brash, red-headed Aunt Lina who propels Sabina into overdrive
and helps her to discover all the wonderful life there is between appetizers
and dessert.

Pull
up a stool, tuck in your napkin, and enjoy!
