What is the trick to finding expectation in hard times?
When Suzan Colón was laid off from her goal job at a newspaper during the economic downturn of 2008, she had a need to lower her budget way, in the past, and that intended home food preparation. Her mother suggested, “Why don’t you look in Nana’s recipe folder?” In the basement, Suzan found the tattered treasure, filled with handwritten and meticulously typed quality recipes, peppered with her grandmother Matilda’s commentary in the margins. Reading it, Suzan noticed she experienced found something greater than a collection of quality recipes—she experienced found the key to her family’s survival through hard times.
Suzan commenced re-creating Matilda’s “sturdy food” quality recipes for baked pork chops and meat stew, and Aunt Nettie’s clam chowder made out of clams dug up by Suzan’s grandfather Charlie in Long Island Audio. And she commenced uncovering the tales of her resilient family’s past. Taking inspiration from stylish, indomitable Matilda, who was simply the sole support of her family as an adolescent through the Great Depression (and who always responded to “How are you?” with “Fabulous, never better!”), and from dashing, twice-widowed Charlie, Suzan starts to plan her own problems with a feeling of question and gratitude. It turns out that the gift idea to endure and flourish through hard times have been bred in her bone fragments all along.
Cherries in Winter is an irresistible gem of the book. It makes you want to prepare, it makes you want to know your own family’s tales, and, above all, it makes you feel rich no matter what.
