About this listen
A delightful novel about surprising friendships, community, and the way small acts of kindness can change a life, from the best-selling author of The Story of Arthur Truluv.
Lucille Howard is getting on in years, but she stays busy. Thanks to the inspiration of her dearly departed friend Arthur Truluv, she has begun to teach baking classes, sharing the secrets to her delicious classic Southern yellow cake, the perfect pinwheel cookies, and other sweet essentials.
Her classes have become so popular that she's hired Iris, a new resident of Mason, Missouri, as an assistant. Iris doesn't know how to bake, but she needs to keep her mind off a big decision she sorely regrets.
When a new family moves in next door and tragedy strikes, Lucille begins to look out for Lincoln, their son. Lincoln's parents aren't the only ones in town facing hard choices and uncertain futures. In these difficult times, the residents of Mason come together and find the true power of community - just when they need it the most.
A heartwarming novel that reminds us that the people we come to love are often the ones we don't expect.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

The Waverleys have always been a curious family, endowed with peculiar gifts that make them outsiders even in their hometown of Bascom, North Carolina. Even their garden has a reputation, famous for its feisty apple tree that bears prophetic fruit, and its edible flowers, imbued with special powers.
Generations of Waverleys tended this garden. Their history was in the soil. But so were their futures.
Together again in the house they grew up in, the Waverley sisters realize they must deal with their common legacy - if they are ever to feel at home in Bascom - or with each other.

Elizabeth Berg’s father was an Army veteran who was a tough man in every way but one: He showed a great deal of love and tenderness to his wife. Berg describes her parents’ marriage as a romance that lasted for nearly 70 years; she grew up watching her father kiss her mother upon leaving home, and kiss her again the instant he came back. His idea of when he should spend time away from her was never. But then her father developed Alzheimer’s disease, and her parents were forced to leave the home they loved and move into a facility that could offer them help.

It’s January 1995, and Franny Banks has just six months left of the three-year deadline she set for herself when she came to New York, dreaming of Broadway and doing "important" work. But all she has to show for her efforts so far is a part in an ad for ugly Christmas sweaters, and a gig waiting tables at a comedy club....

Daisy McCrae's life is in tatters. She's lost her job, broken up with her boyfriend, and has been reduced to living in the attic above her family's store, the Union Street Bakery, while learning the business. Making things worse is the constant feeling of not being a "real" McCrae, since she was adopted as a child and has a less-than-perfect relationship with her two sisters. Then a long-standing elderly customer passes away, and for some reason she bequeaths to Daisy a journal dating back to the 1850s...

Life is poetic
Every turn in our lives tells a beautiful story. Elizabeth Berg made me believe in my story. It is full of excitement even on the most ordinary day.
I love her voice. I feel as if I were a child again being read an exciting fairy tale.

Follow up to Arthur Truluv
I enjoyed Arthur Truluv and was hoping to see what happened with Maddie, Lucille and Nola. This book basically follows Lucille. There are some answers found here from book 1 but it comes in pretty late. I liked this book, but not sure I would recommend it highly.

Kept in the Library of My Heart
Elizabeth Berg has played a significant role in my life during the time I have escaped into her books and long after they are read. She is an expert wordsmith and storyteller who brings her works to life narrating her own books. I challenge anyone, who enjoys well developed characters fashioned around circumstances that can transport them to surprising places and times and that will stay with them after the story ends, to read any of her works without wanting to read more. This sequel to The Story of Arthur Truluv was spectacular in every way!

I prefer historical fiction or memiors.
IT ,was ok,. after I got used to her style and narration.
Amost All characters were very nice.
No graphic sexual details.
Nice descriptions of scenery, sun sets
and relationships.
I loved that "sunsets pull down the night." her discription of bird calls, and love of baking and that she liked to make people feel better and happy!

Comforting, sweet story
Disclaimer: I love Elizabeth Berg’s stories—even when they’re predictable and cliche. She often expresses feeling and thoughts that I’ve experienced along my journey. That being said, this book was similar to a Hallmark movie. If you don’t like sweetness and comfort, this may not be your cup of tea. But it is my cup of tea & I’d have tea with Elizabeth Berg any day of the week.
