The taste of honey

The time has come for love to be put to the test. Sweet. Pure. Tasty. That's honey. With "The Taste of Honey," the irresistible second volume of the "The Possible Loves" trilogy, Eileen Goudge once again offers her fans a compelling novel. Now, a woman, Gerry Fitzgerald, decides to confront her past, and consequently, the daughter she gave up for adoption twenty-eight years ago. Claire Brewster, a successful lawyer and fiancée of a childhood friend, finds herself deeply shaken when, without warning, Gerry calls on Christmas Day and introduces himself as her biological mother. Despite the anguished disagreement of her adoptive parents and the fear of what she might discover, Claire agrees to travel to Carson Springs. With the help of her friend Kitty Seagrave, Claire leaves her safe and stable life, learns to let go of old beliefs, and manages to embrace, albeit hesitantly, her new family, as well as take a bold step toward her dream career. But this new path proves even more arduous when another man enters her life and she finds herself torn between two loves. Famous for serving as a location for classic films and for its convent of beekeeping nuns, Carson Springs is an idyllic place where traditions reign and family histories have deep, intertwined roots.
