A recipe for living . . . New friends can be found in unexpected places. For Bridget and Amy, that place was the cancer ward of an Anchorage hospital. Now, as each struggles to overcome loss, they lean on each other for support—sharing suppers, laughter and tears. Bridget and Amy aren’t about to let hardship knock them down—Bridget plans to return to her veterinarian school studies, Amy to her … her veterinarian school studies, Amy to her position as a second-grade teacher—but neither feels quite ready. And so the Sunday Potluck Club is born, a way for Bridget, Amy, and other women who have lost a loved one to find solace and understanding. Savoring favorite dishes while sharing memories and the comfort of connection, the members of the Sunday Potluck Club nourish body and soul.
As weeks go by and the group grows in unforeseen ways, both Bridget and Amy are inspired to find greater purpose. Amy reaches out to a student whose father bravely faces his own struggle. Bridget volunteers at the local animal shelter, rehabilitating dogs whose unconditional love will bring others a chance to heal. And with the help of two special men, Bridget and Amy are realizing that there’s always room at the table for love and rekindled joy . . .

Recently I was given the chance to read a preview of The Sunday Potluck Club.
It’ll be available in March next year and I think it will be a great read.
The Sunday Potluck club follows Amy, Hazel, Bridget and Nichole. They met when they were each supporting one of their parents through cancer treatment.
The four women bonded, and the potluck club was born. Every Sunday they meet and have a potluck meal.
The story opens, focusing on Amy and her return to work. We also find out more about the other members of the club.
I can’t wait to read the rest of the book and find out what happens to Amy and the rest of the club.
They met in hospital cancer ward while each was caring for a parent in the terminal phase of the disease. After the death of the last one each tries to deal with grief in her own way and that affects how she tries to be supportive to the others. Seems like a good start, but I’m not used to getting only a partial from NetGalley. Seems rather pointless to me.
