Eating Heaven
By Jennie Shortridge
Fiction

Eating Heaven a new novel by Jennie Shortridge combines the theme of family secrets with that of a young woman's struggle to accept herself as she happens to be - overweight. Eleanor Samuels gives up her job as a freelance food writer to care for her ailing Uncle Bennie and discovers, along with some important truths about the past, that you don't have to be thin to have a good life, or loving relationships. Smooth writing, a cast of nicely developed characters, and a winning portrait of Portland, Oregon add up to one good read.
