Lexi Stuart feels stalled in her life: graduated from college but still living at home; unsure of her next career move and even more unsure of her future with her current crop of suitors.
When a job opportunity lands is handed to her along with her favorite pastry, Lexi decides to jump on board only to find out the limitations of hope and expectation in the face of adversity, diversity and deadlines.
An unexpected confrontation with local businessman refocuses her priorities and her life: she is going to stop trying to please everyone else and see where God takes her.
Fun, witty, and touching, Let Them Eat Cake speaks to the twenty-something crowd and the myriad of life choices facing them each and every day. Finding direction and purpose in this world is challenging and there are no easy answers, but God works in and through our circumstances everyday.
Sandra Byrd does a great job of conveying the issues Lexi is dealing with while giving us a taste of life in Seattle. I enjoyed the local flavor Byrd wove throughout her story along with all of the tasty treats she shares in the French Twist series. She made me want to learn french baking!Click here for more information on Sandra Byrd and her other fun works of fiction!
*FYI: Sandra Byrd was my mentor in the Christian Writers Guild Apprentice Course. I learned so much from her and am excited to blog about her books.
Keep up the God work, Sandra.
Just another thought from the tub,
Lori

Erica, Anna, and I loved this book. And the next one and the next. Sandra looks younger than I expected. I kind of miss our CWG days. So glad we could do that together.
