debut novel, has created a sumptuous, wholly realized world that
will enchant you. Billie Breslin has traveled far from her home
in California to take a job at Delicious!, New York’s most

Billie agrees to stay on in the empty office, maintaining the
hotline for reader complaints in order to pay her bills. To
Billie’s surprise, the lonely job becomes the portal to a
miraculous discovery. In a hidden room in the magazine’s
library, Billie finds a cache of letters written during World
War II by Lulu Swan, a plucky twelve-year-old, to the legendary
chef James Beard. Lulu’s letters provide Billie with a richer
understanding of history, and a feeling of deep connection to
the young writer whose courage in the face of hardship inspires
Billie to comes to terms with her fears, her big sister and her
ability to open her heart to love.
