Recently while at the salon, I had the opportunity to meet an author who had just released her latest book 2 weeks prior to us meeting. I learned (both by asking her questions and listening to her eloquently speak to others in the shop as we waited for service) that this is actually her second book (the first one \u201cWhen You Think Of Me\u201d <\/a>was published a few years prior). Her latest compilation titled \u201cLiving With No Regrets\u201d<\/a> appears to be a sure winner. The book\u2019s inside cover gives a synopsis as such:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/o:p>Cherrelle Elliot has been betrayed by both family and friends. On the day of her wedding, her fianc\u00e9 jilts her at the altar and marries her first cousin. She is devastated to find that her family members have accepted the relationship without regard to her feelings when she sees her ex-fianc\u00e9, cousin, and their new child being admired at the family reunion. Her grief and embarrassment cause her to leave her home city of New Orleans<\/st1:city> and move to Houston<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>.<\/span> After years away from New Orleans<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>, Cherrelle’s grandmother asks her to chair the family reunion committee, but she refuses. Reassigned to New Orleans<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> to work on a new project for her company, she is forced to take a matured look at her family, and Cherrelle realizes that some things have changed. Her grandmother is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, her sister is being abused by her husband, and her father is missing to name a few. The only things that make life in New Orleans<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> bearable are the foods that remind her of the love of her family and an unexpected reunion with Cory, a childhood friend she secretly had a crush on.<\/span>Her grandmother’s disease forces Cherrelle to take over the family reunion, but plans are interrupted when Hurricane Katrina roars through, causing havoc for the family as members are separated from one another.<\/span><\/em>\u201cLiving With No Regrets\u201d is a story of how Cherrelle and her family deal with betrayal, forgiveness, family, love, reunion planning, Alzheimer’s, and spousal abuse.<\/em>\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I began reading the hard cover version of the book while in the salon. And I must say that it is already entertaining. I briefly scan through the book and noticed that towards the back of\u00a0 the book there were actually recipes that Mrs. Piper has included. She mentioned many of the recipes actually come from her mother.<\/o:p><\/span>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span>If you are looking to bless someone (or yourself) with a different kind of gift, let me encourage you to purchase \u201cLiving With No Regrets<\/a>\u201d by visiting http:\/\/www.annetrapiperbooks.com\/online_store<\/a>.
