Book Review- Gardenias for Breakfast

Is there a memory from childhood that remains perfect?  Do you ever wish you could go back and relive that vacation, that summer at Grandma's, that school year?

In Gardenia's for breakfast Abby and her daughter get a chance to visit Louisiana from their home in Maui, Hawaii.  Abby has fond memories of her summer there and looks forward to giving her daughter a chance to make similar memories.   However, she is confronted with the reality that life does not always remain as we left it.  Things change, and some memories cannot be remade.   But even so, there is space for new ones to form.

Gardenias for Breakfast is beautiful story of the relationship between a mother and her growing daughter.  A coming of age in a sense for both women.  

And a reminder of God's grace intertwining with our lives, even when we don't always see it.
