Escape to Cape Cod—where you just might find the secret to happiness
Callie Dixon had the world by the tail ... until it all slipped away. Fired from her dream job after making a colossal mistake, she's escaped to her aunt's home on Cape Cod for time to bounce back. Except it isn't a home, it's an ice cream shop.
And time isn't going to help, because Callie's bounce has up and left. There's a reason she made that mistake at work, and she's struggling to come to terms with it.
Things go from bad to worse when Callie's cousin Dawn drags her to a community class about the secret to happiness. Happiness is the last thing Callie wants to think about right now, but instructor Bruno Bianco—a curiously gloomy fellow—is relentless. He has a way of turning Callie's thoughts upside down. Her feelings, too.
Bruno insists that hitting rock bottom is the very best place to be. But if that's true, how is it supposed to help her figure out what—or who—has been missing from her life all along?

      In this heartwarming sequel to The Sweet Life, Fisher follows former big-time chef Callie Dixon as she seeks a fresh start in small-town Chatham, Mass. After earning a prized executive chef job at a posh restaurant at only 25, Callie’s life seems ideal—until she causes a mass food poisoning outbreak and loses her job. Depressed and unmoored, she moves in with her aunt Marnie and cousin Dawn, who run the Main Street Creamery on Cape Cod. While Dawn’s less than thrilled with the arrangement and resentful of the cousin who always outshone her, she soon realizes that dejected, self-isolating Callie may be dealing with deeper issues than job loss alone. Dawn drags Callie to a happiness class taught by professor Bruno Bianco, whose advice inspires Callie to reexamine her perspective, and as Callie and Bruno bond, Callie shares a painful secret. With the aid of Bruno, Marnie (both of whom encourage Callie’s faith), Dawn, and a friendly neighbor boy, Callie works to find happiness in even the most dire-seeming circumstances. Fisher balances emotional depth with lively humor (and some fun ice cream–making tips), all while keeping up a breezy pace. This delights.
