Hope Springs series (J. Lynne Hinton)

Lynne Hinton's beloved bestselling classic, Friendship Cake, is a beautiful, poignant, and funny novel of five small-town women friends that offers inspiring life lessons in faith, love, strength, survival, and community-as well as a host of delicious Southern recipes!

The matchmaking doesn't go...
