Filled with love, humor, and the scent of delectable puff pastry, this tale is about two sisters who find their bond invaluable as they navigate marriage, heartache, poor grammar, and the surprising challenges that ultimately become the most fulfilling blessings.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Sisterhood, motherhood, marriage, baking, and books--these are a few of the things that make this delightful novel a recipe for getting through the tough stuff of life--from the author of </b><b><i>The Summer Sail </i>and<i> </i><i>The Summer of Good Intentions.</i></b> <p/>Ellen McClarety, <i> </i>a recent divorcée, has opened a new bake shop in her small Midwestern town, hoping to turn her life around by dedicating herself to the traditional Danish pastry called kringle. She is no longer saddled by her ne'er-do-well husband, but the past still haunts her--sometimes by showing up on her doorstep. Her younger sister, Lanie, is a successful divorce attorney with a baby at home. But Lanie is beginning to feel that her perfect life is not as perfect as it seems. Both women long for the guidance of their mother, who died years ago but left them with lasting memories of her love and a wonderful piece of advice: "At the end of every day, you can always think of three good things that happened." <p/> Ellen and Lanie are as close as two sisters can be, until one begins keeping a secret that could forever change both their lives. Wearing her big Midwestern heart proudly on her sleeve, Wendy Francis skillfully illuminates the emotional lives of two women with humor and compassion, weaving a story destined to be shared with a friend, a mother, or a sister.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>Three Good Things</i> is a flavorful tale of sisters and second chances, fresh starts and sweet surprises.
