Very Enjoyable Story of Love, Food and Friendship

The woman Who Wanted More is a very enjoyable book from Vicky Zimmerman. The author writes about food and love and, perhaps even more importantly, the value of good friends in our lives. The main character, Kate, is in a troubled relationship with Nick who wants to make a commitment then changes his mind. Kate returns to live with her mother and volunteers at a retirement home where she is assigned to Cecily, a feisty 87 year old widow who has led an amazing life visiting and living in many countries. Like her relationship with Nick, Kate doesn't find it easy to befriend Cecily but perseveres and, through their shared love of food, the pair find much common ground and forge what at first appearance seemed an unlikely bond. This is a feelgood book that should be on everyone's shelves reminding us all of the importance of our friends in our lives.
