A Second Helping Of Magic

Old family rumors attributing magic powers to Arden’s mother’s cooking seem to come true, as Mrs. Day attracts the attention of an English aristocrat, an Oxford professor and a retired general. As Arden comforts her younger sister Alicia through a messy divorce, her mother and older sister Alice spend three months in Europe. While abroad, Arden’s mother, adds to her collection of admirers, as described in A Bite of Magic, a noted cardiologist, a construction tycoon, a restaurant millionaire, and a learned judge. When some of her American “devoted” friends and suitors meet the European contingent, tempers flair and earnest competition begins. For your enjoyment of this humorous reading, Arden includes her mother’s recipes, but reproducing her magic depends on you.
