"For Ginny Selvaggio, the protagonist of Jael McHenry's captivating debut novel, food is a kind of glossary and cooking provides its own magic, whether it's summoning the dead or softening the sharp edges of a world she finds neither comfortable nor familiar. THE KITCHEN DAUGHTER is sweet and bitter-sharp, a lush feast of a novel about the links between flavor and memory, family and identity."
- Carolyn Parkhurst, "New York Times" bestselling author of DOGS OF BABEL and THE NOBODIES ALBUM

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Now in paperback, a poignant and delectable novel with recipes, chronicling one womans journey of self-discovery that begins at the stove. After the unexpected death of her parents, painfully shy and sheltered 26-year-old Ginny Selvaggio seeks comfort in cooking from family recipes. But the rich, peppery scent of her Nonnas soup draws an unexpected visitor into the kitchen: the ghost of Nonna herself, dead for twenty years, who appears with a cryptic warning (do no let her) before vanishing like steam from a cooling dish.A haunted kitchen isnt Ginnys only challenge. Her domineering sister, Amanda, (aka Demanda) insists on selling their parents house, the only home Ginny has ever known. As she packs up her parents belongings, Ginny finds evidence of family secrets she isnt sure how to unravel. She knows how to turn milk into cheese and cream into butter, but she doesnt know why her mother hid a letter in the bedroom chimney, or the identity of the woman in her fathers photographs. The more she learns, the more she realizes the keys to these riddles lie with the dead, and theres only one way to get answers: cook from dead peoples recipes, raise their ghosts, and ask them.
