Overview
Real estate agent Tessa Andrews believes she has her life all figured out, organized in meticulously numbered lists to ensure she doesn’t make bad decisions. But after eating a breakfast quiche and receiving a skeleton key to a dilapidated mansion, a reckless impulse overtakes her.
When torrential rains flood Mystic Water, Tessa’s condo drowns in floodwater. In need of a temporary residence, Tessa moves into an empty apartment above the local diner owned by the Borellis. While trying to help people find lodging while the flood recedes, a client sends Tessa a package containing a tarnished key belonging to a neglected historic mansion that is now on the market, and a whole new set of troubles arises, starting with the return of the Borellis’ prodigal son.
Paul Borelli, a travel journalist, shows up unexpectedly in Mystic Water and claims the apartment above the diner where Tessa has been staying. Now in need of another place to live, Tessa’s love of historic homes overtakes her logic, and she tosses aside her numbered lists, unloads her savings account, and buys the mansion with the intention to bring the grand beauty back to life.
Nearly everyone doubts Tessa’s sanity, but along the way she finds unlikely support in an ancient Cherokee spear, a traveling mint plant, and a journalist on the run from his past. Filled with charm, unexpected twists, and a touch of magic, A Slice of Courage Quiche is an enchanting tale of listening to one’s heart, camping indoors, and how acts of kindness can make a meaningful difference.
Review
Torrential rains have flooded the town of Mystic Water and this includes Tessa’s condo and her car. Tessa moves into an empty apartment above the Borellis’ diner. But, in an unexpected turn of events, the Borellis’ prodigal son, Paul, returns home and surprises everyone. Now, Tessa is in search of another place to live when a skeleton key to a historic mansion shows up at her office.
Tessa is a fantastic character. When she starts driving the Great Pumpkin (a car her parents lend her), I cracked up! Then there is the old mansion. I could just picture it. I so wanted to go exploring. But don’t worry…Crazy Kate would have to be there too. You will have to read this to find out about this character!
Well, I am now going to have to go back and pick up this author’s other books. I enjoyed so much about this one! The characters, the snarkiness, the old house, the setting all melded together and created this charming tale. Oh…and don’t forget about Paul! Tessa and Paul have such a wonderful chemistry
