  • Book Blog: Bitter and Sweet by Rhonda McKnight

    Blog Written by Cece Hymes

    Hello, book lovers!

    I’m thrilled to share my thoughts on Bitter and Sweet by Rhonda McKnight. This is the second book I’ve read by this author, and I was so excited to dive into it, especially after attending her book signing. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint!

    The story centers around two sisters, Mariah and Sabrina, who seem to embody the title perfectly—one is bitter, and one is sweet. Despite their differences and the years they’ve spent apart, they find themselves back home, helping their grandparents with their restaurant. Through this, they discover their unique talents and begin to heal old wounds.

    Mariah is grappling with bitterness from past hurts and is finally seeking the help she needs. I appreciate how the book highlights the importance of therapy—something many people shy away from but can be incredibly beneficial. Mariah’s skills in business and marketing shine through as she helps with the restaurant’s success.

    On the other hand, Sabrina is dealing with her own life struggles, living in her van and ensuring her daughter is well taken care of. Her talents in baking and cooking bring a special touch to the restaurant. Despite their struggles, the sisters gradually open up to each other, rebuilding their bond and becoming close once again.

    A particularly beautiful aspect of the book is the discovery of their great-great-grandmother’s letters. These letters reveal the tragedies and struggles she endured, creating a connection between the past and present that both sisters can relate to. I loved how this historical element added depth to the story, blending seamlessly with the narrative.

    Attending the book signing was a fantastic experience, and I even got my own mason jar from the author! Reading the book beforehand made this little token even more meaningful.

    Rhonda McKnight has a unique talent for weaving history, food, and personal growth into her stories. The town’s history and the family’s legacy add richness to the plot, making it a truly engaging read.

    Bitter and Sweet is a heartwarming story about family, forgiveness, and finding one’s place in the world. I can’t wait to read more books by Rhonda McKnight. If you haven’t picked up this book yet, I highly recommend it!

    Happy reading!
