Feasts and Journeys With Five Fabulous Authors
In Mary's Place, Mary Pelzel shares laughs, adventures, and recipes, describing how she transformed from a scared-of-snakes city-girl to a resourceful, make-it-myself high-tea mountain-woman. Joe Fitzpatrick has been working wonders in the kitchen and on the grill for decades – and with Joe's Strictly Sundays cookbook, now you can too. Best-selling author Sandra Byrd presents her delicious French Twist Christian romance series. Bruce Taylor explores soul journeys through the Mountains of the Night. Roberta Gregory's Follow Your Art is a graphic artist's way of saying "thank you" to everyone who helped her on her journey, and "come along for the ride!" to the rest.
 French Twist Series
Indulge yourself with best-selling author Sandra Byrd's French Twist Christian romance series. Flaky chocolate croissant? Warm Café Creme? Lose yourself in this delicious culinary romp through Seattle and Paris as Lexi Stuart comes to understand that God not only places dreams within our hearts—He brings them to pass. The series follows Lexi's adventures through Let Them Eat Cake, Bon Appétit, and Pièce de Résistance: A Novel. When life suddenly contains more ooh la la than Lexi can handle, Lexi discovers that as she leans more on God the choices become a little clearer.

 Mary's Place: Where High Tea Meets the Mountains
To get to this cabin in the foothills leading to Chinook Pass, cross the one-car, wooden bridge over the Naches and hang a right. Call ahead, and Mary will put the kettle on. "My whole goal is a feel-good, happy place," says 62-year-old Mary Pelzel, author, shopkeeper, high-tea hostess, self-taught chef, and creator of hand-made delicacies from soap to salad dressing, bread mix to bubble bath, lip balm to lotion— as well as her renowned preserves: huckleberry to jalapeño, beet to bing.  "Everything is local," Mary says. "A lot of it I grow myself."
Mary was not always so at ease with her mountain life. When she and her husband first arrived (his dream, my nightmare, she confides), Mary was not particularly keen to make the acquaintance of some of her neighbors-- the snakes and spiders, cougars and bears. Mary's memoir describes her transformation from "city girl" to High-Tea Mountain Woman. This highly readable memoir will make you smile as surely as the over 60 recipes included will tantalize your taste buds.
