Early Praise for The Second Chance Supper Club

"The Second Chance Supper Club is as warm and comforting as one of chef Ginny's signature dishes. Meier writes with insight and heart, offering readers a vivid peek at the intriguing world of private supper clubs in this life-affirming story of three women reconnecting with the ones who matter most." –Amy Mason Doan, author of The Summer List and Summer Hours

 “The Second Chance Supper Club is a book to be savored. Meier expertly weaves the stories of two grieving sisters with humor, tenderness, and hope. Upon finishing this scrumptious book, I felt as one would feel after a good meal: satisfied, but wishing I could take just one more bite.” –Jennifer Gold, author of The Ingredients of Us

"In this moving tale, Meier brings these ambitious, complex characters to life, and sets them on an emotional journey toward honesty and acceptance." –Sonja Yoerg, Washington Post bestselling author of True Places
