It's amazing how quickly your whole world can unravel...

Thirty-six year-old Olivia is an artist who’s just been let go from her day job. Also, the presumed love of her life has suddenly decamped to another continent to avoid a lawsuit – but all of this pales when Olivia finds out that her beloved grandmother, the woman who raised her, has had a stroke. 

Olivia rushes back to her hometown of Stafford Falls to care for her Nana only to find that the odd little place where she grew up has changed. For one thing, she keeps running into a perpetually smiling Buddhist monk who offers to teach her the secret to great happiness. And then there’s that intriguing woman with the beautiful smile and kind eyes who is opening a café that serves life-saving espressos. 

As Nana recovers, Olivia finds herself making a life in the little town, but when her backlog of unsold paintings starts to sell and suddenly it’s raining jobs back in the city, will she be able to leave Stafford Falls?

Told with warmth and wit, The Kitchen Sink Sutrais an uplifting story about family, best friends, and the importance of a really good cup of coffee.

The Kitchen Sink Sutra

What do we have in this life besides moments with those we love?

Olivia Sutton has every reason to be happy – she’s met the love of her life, her Nana has recovered from her stroke, and she’s painting again. And yet… her best friend is leaving her cryptic messages, a rebellion is forming at the church luncheon committee and her recently deceased friend, Eddie Spaghetti, has started talking to her.

But even bigger problems are brewing in the idyllic town of Stafford Falls. For one thing, Angie’s business is struggling, and for another, Olivia can’t seem to bring herself to actually work on the heartbreaking portrait of Eddie Spaghetti that she promised to paint. It seems like things can’t get worse… until the mayor and his cronies set their sights on Julia’s café, and then the gloves are off.

Will Julia be able to keep the café open? Will Angie’s fledgling baking business ever get off the ground? And how will Olivia make her way to the other side of her grief?

The much-anticipated second book in The Stafford Falls Series, Date Square Dharma will make you laugh, cry and cheer out loud. Heartbreaking and funny, it’s a story about kindness, saying goodbye and some truly exceptional baked goods.
