Forgiveness Road

Praise for The Last Suppers   “In this novel of compassion, readers will find a humanizing light in a normally dark place.” —Booklist   “The Last Suppers held me riveted from the first page to the last, a gorgeous novel that finds beauty in the most unlikely of places. This story has the social conscience of The Help, the unflinching honesty of The Shawshank Redemption, and a wholly original heroine whose humanity will touch your heart as she cooks her way to redemption.” —Susan Wiggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author   “A haunting study of race relations, compassion, and mystery. A must read.” —Library Journal (Starred Review)   “A taut page-turner . . . had me in its grips to the shocking end of a well-crafted, gripping story.” —Anna Jean Mayhew, author of The Dry Grass of August   “A serious book, beautifully written . . . compelling and very very real.” —The New York Journal of Books   “Filled with heart and reverent solemnity, despair and hope, Mandy Mikulencak’s writing is a sensitive, thoughtful narrative about finding freedom beyond the boundaries of what we believe of ourselves and of our past. With captivating characters, a unique premise, and set in sultry Louisiana, this story is as rich and enticing as the last suppers prepared, one you will want to linger over until the very last page.” —Donna Everhart, author of The Education of Dixie Dupree   “Unrestrained in its honesty, this is one novel that will keep you thinking long after the last page is read.” —Historical Novels Society
