Praise for Life from Scratch
" . . . characters I can relate to, who make me laugh out loud and hungry for dinner." -- MARY ALICE, co-star of Food Network's Ace of Cakes
Rachel has made a new life from scratch with her ex-husband, but can they survive the wedding plans?
It may be her second time getting married, but Rachel Goldman is definitely navigating a sticky relationship with her former--and soon-to-be-again--mother-in-law. Plus she's in a tug of war with the editor of her upcoming book on divorce who is begging her to keep her happy new relationship with her ex, Adam, on the down low. How can Rachel do that when her society-obsessed mother-in-law is eager to get a featured story in the wedding section of the New York Times? Throw in a sister-in-law-to-be who's navigating her own upcoming nuptials as well as a friend who not only doesn't want to get married, but is possibly having an affair. Rachel finds herself with too many pots simmering on a very familiar stove.
Melissa Ford is the author of Life from Scratch, the bestselling prequel to Measure of Love. She writes daily at the award-winning blog, Stirrup Queens, and lives outside Washington, D.C. with her husband and twins. Look for her next novel, Apart at the Seams, coming in 2014.

She had Mr. Right all sewn up . . . until Mr. Wonderful came along.
Ethan is smart, funny, kind, gentle, great with Arianna's toddler son, a fantastic lover, and finally ready to settle down to a teaching job in Manhattan after years of nomadic work as a freelance photographer. Plus he's the adoring brother of Arianna's best friend, Rachel.
He's a truly special man, and the time seems right for him to move in to Arianna's apartment. But traces of the old Ethan exist--there was the much better but stodgy job he turned down and the "let's take off for Nepal next year" impulses.
Arianna is on the verge of graduating from a "finisher" at her fashion job--a highly paid seamstress--and is on her way to having her own designs produced. Suddenly her career is the central focus of her life--and into that focus walks Noah, a worldly, funny, sophisticated, and very successful writer for an award-winning television show. Their instant rapport leads to a design opportunity for Arianna and a friendship that slowly confuses her feelings for Ethan
