Dear Reader, I never understood the power of food in our culture and lives until I started writing DINING WITH JOY. Not only is "food" something for our bodies, but also for our spirits. Jesus said, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent me." What a challenge that was to me as a follower of Jesus and as a story teller. I hope this third lowcountry book finds you well as you return with me to Beaufort, South Carolina. Joy Ballard has a secret: she's a cooking show host who can't cook. When her South Carolina-based cooking show, Dining With Joy, is picked up by a major network, Joy Ballard's world heats up like a lowcountry boil. Chef Luke Davis moved to Beaufort after losing his much-acclaimed Manhattan restaurant. Now a cook at the Frogmore Cafe, he's paying debts and longing to regain his reputation in the elite foodie world. When Joy meets Luke it's like oil and water...until he discovers Joy's secret. With her career and his reputation simmering on a low burner, they work together to create the perfect show recipe. But when Joy is exposed on national television, their dreams are lost. Is it possible that they can learn to feast on God's love and dine with joy? I had a great time writing this story and I hope you enjoy it. Besides meeting Joy, you'll get to spend a few pages with old friends Caroline Sweeney and Elle Garvey. New York Times number one best selling author Debbie Macomber said, "Rachel Hauck's stories are filled with twists and turns that leave the reader breathless and longing for more."
