Meet author, Rachel Linden, who writes for Berkley/Penguin Random House and has longstanding family connections to San Juan Island and whose work features local places such as Westcott Bay Sea Farm. Her newest book is Recipe for a Charmed Life.

Georgia, a fiery determined woman, is searching for happiness, love and purpose after failure. Some of the unexpected setbacks and surprises she encounters lead her to a truly satisfying life, one full of forgiveness, meaning and joy. Set in Paris (swoon) and a charming Pacific Northwest island (sigh), two favorite places on earth. Messiness and beauty of family and forgiveness in such beautiful settings, a grouchy oyster farmer in orange rubber overalls, and lots of delicious food!
