SYNOPSIS:
A delectable comedy for every woman who's ever wondered if buying that six-dollar box of organic crackers makes her a hero or a sucker.
Julia Bailey is a mompreneur with too many principles and too little time. Her fledgling company, Julia's Child, makes organic toddler meals like Gentle Lentil and Give Peas a Chance. But turning a profit while saving the world proves tricky as Julia must face a ninety-two-pound TV diva, an ill-timed protest rally, and a room full of one hundred lactating breasts. Will she get her big break before her family reaches the breaking point? In the end, it is a story about motherhood's choices: organic versus local, paper versus plastic, staying at home versus risking it all.
A cookbook author's hilarious fiction debut, Julia's Child will have foodies and all-natural mamas alike laughing, cheering, and asking for more.
MY THOUGHTS:

Julia's Child includes two of my favorite things - food and reading! When I picked up this book and started reading, I was instantly hooked. It is a heartwarming, witty and down-to-earth tale of one mother who will stop at nothing to be the woman she wants to be. I fell in love with this novel and can't wait to see what Sarah publishes next.
