Recipe for a Charmed Life by Rachel Linden read by Traci Odom is a delight to listen to.  American Chef Georgia May Jackson has dreamed of having her own restaurant in Paris.  After catching her boyfriend and fellow chef cheating on her and losing her sense of taste, she heads to see her estranged mother on a small island off Seattle. 

Listening to the story read by Traci Odom made this story come to life for me. I was absolutely enchanted and drawn into the life of Georgia May, her family, and the oyster farmer next door.  I enjoyed walking with these delightful characters as they discovered their true self, became better people, and transformed into who they were intended to be.  The setting was charming and I longed to visit the island.  I appreciated how the author talked about the gifts of women in Georgia May’s family. 

I really enjoyed the wonderful characters, charming setting, and the sprinkling of magic in Recipe for a Charmed Life. This is a delightful story to listen to and I highly recommend Recipe for a Charmed by Rachel Linden read by Traci Odom.
