The Family Recipe

Bol

In this “g em of a book that sparkles with longing and hope and healing” (J.C. Cervantes, New York Times bestselling author), estranged siblings find themselves competing to inherit their father’s Vietnamese sandwich franchise and unravel family mysteries. Duc Tran, the eccentric founder of the Vietnamese sandwich chain Duc’s Sandwiches, has decided to retire. With the help of the shady family lawyer, Duc informs his five estranged adult children that to receive their inheritance, his four daughters must revitalize run-down shops in old-school Little Saigon locations across America: Houston, San Jose, New Orleans, and Philadelphia—within a year. But if the first-born (and only) son, Jude, gets married first, everything will go to him. Each daughter is stuck in a new city, battling gentrification, declining ethnic enclaves, and messy love lives, while struggling to modernize their father’s American dream. Jude wonders if he wants to marry for love or for money—or neither. As Duc’s children scramble to win their inheritance, they begin to learn the real intention behind the inheritance scheme—and the secret their long-lost mother kept tucked away in the old fishing tackle box, all along. Destined “to become an instant favorite” (Liza Palmer, author of Family Reservations), The Family Recipe is about rediscovering one’s roots, different types of fatherly love, legacy, and finding a place in a divided country where the only commonality among your neighbors is the universal love of sandwiches.
