Review:
"Musing and Munching" by Gloria VanDemmeltraadt is riveting! I had a hard time putting it down. The connection between the smiling Gloria who I know with the Gloria in the book was amazing. Her inner strength and courage shine through the pages. Sharing her recipes throughout her story gives greater meaning to them, and helped me to understand their importance in her life. Wonderful book!
