Susan Gloss
"The Coincidence of Coconut Cake is a smart and delicious debut—a read as satisfying as the last bite of dessert after a lovingly-prepared meal. The novel is as much a celebration of the midwest and regional food as it is a love story between chef Lou and food critic Al. I adored Lou and her quirky makeshift family of restaurant customers and co-workers. Their missteps and milestones kept me racing through the chapters, craving another course."
Megan Mulry

Narrator Rachel Dulude's natural voice quietly appeals in this charming story of family, apple cider, and a touch of the mystic. Sanna Lund, whose family are fifth-generation apple growers in Door County, Wisconsin, has given up on love and devotes herself instead to creating the perfect cider to help save her family’s orchard. When Isaac Banks and his young son, Bass, arrive on the scene, Sanna and Isaac both learn that love can happen when you most need but least expect it. Dulude excels with her subtle portrayals, capturing the cautious reluctance of Sanna, the endearing gruffness of her father, and the lively energy of young Bass. As the story takes the listener to a quieter place, the listener hears delightful details about apple growing and cider making. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
