2009 Book #35: How Sweet It Is by Alice J. Wisler

How Sweet It Is by Alice J. Wisler is the story of Deena Livingston. She moves from her life in Atlanta to a cabin in the mountains of North Carolina which was left to her by her grandfather. The cabin comes with one stipulation: Deena must teach cooking classes to some local middle school students. While her original plan was to start a new life away from the painful memories of a broken engagement and have her own cake decorating business, she must adjust to teaching troubled kids. After her first day she feels sure the kids will never like her and she’ll never be able to teach them anything.

This is a touching story. I could relate to the characters and felt Deena’s pain. This is the first book I've read by this author. I enjoyed her writing style and it was enjoyable to get to know the characters.
