“Once I sat down to read this book, I could not get up until I’d finished it. This hilarious page-turner packs a profound satirical bite. It’s a Hollywood romp that provides romance, mystery, and an honest confrontation with the human condition. Food of Love is a funny and powerfully healing book.” —Lucia Capacchione, PhD, bestselling self-help author, Recovery of Your Inner Child

“Gripping...a perfect beach read...full of hope and fun... designed to keep you turning the pages.” —Gainsborough Standard

    I love it

    Food of Love is a romping good time. Imagine Tom Robbins, Fannie Flagg, and Armistead Maupin collaborating on a novel. They start by squeezing into a bathroom stall at a posh drug rehab center. Throw in a conservative talk show hostess, a model-turned princess, a reformed porn director, and of course, Elvis, and you've got a pile of laughs and a fantastic read.
