As memories linger in the past, so dreams stretch toward the future.
Single mom Adriana Diaz isn’t about to let the new teacher derail the PTA’s hard work in securing a greenhouse and garden area for Bridgeview Elementary School, but taking matters into her own hands turns awkward when she realizes her attraction to the teacher.
Pro-level conflict-avoider Myles Sheridan finds himself against an entire community with his reluctance to incorporate gardening into his classes. The only thing that could make his situation worse is falling in love with the ringleader, whose child is his most difficult student and whose husband had died a hero.
How can Myles compete with the man from Adriana’s memories? He’s not the material champions are made of. Or is he?

My Thoughts
Adriana Diaz is a pillar of strength and hospitality in the Bridgeview community. She can throw a dinner party like nobody’s business. Adriana is also the widow of a local hero and now the single mother (a.k.a. mama bear, warning!) of their two children.
Newcomer Myles Sheridan thought he was just transferring to another average school district but he soon finds himself schooled over the PTA’s pet gardening project and promised curriculum. Children SHOULD be learning the what, when, why, and how about their food, this is a great concept!
The characters had several obstacles to overcome including finding the best educational fit for a strong-willed child and dealing with rumors, gossip, and busy-bodies.
I requested the opportunity to read and review this title through the author. The opinions expressed are my own.

Let’s talk fresh food!
What are some examples of food knowledge and skills that we need to pass down to the next generation?
I think we should pass down all that we need to survive a catastrophe. Somebody needs to know these things for preservation.
Besides if we teach these skills to the next generation, then they won’t take food for granted!

Everyone 10 years old and up should at least know how to cook basic things like toast, eggs, pasta, rice and such.
I love the cover art.

so true! I get my kids in the kitchen as soon as they show interest, the sooner they can cook, the sooner I don’t have to 😉
