Book
Francesca's kitchen / Peter Pezzelli.
For years, Francesca Campanile was the queen of her home. Standing in her Rhode Island kitchen, Francesca dispensed advice as liberally as she did garlic, arguing nonstop with her son and two daughters. It was a wonderful life. But now, Francesca's children have moved away -- and for the widowed Francesca, not having a family around to pester, guide, love and cook for makes her feel useless. When Francesca sees Loretta Simmons's want ad for a part-time nanny, she doesn't hesitate. Loretta just wants someone to fill in for a few hours a day, but it's obvious to Francesca that Loretta and her kids need a lot more than that. Loretta struggles to make ends meet, and her choice in men is one disaster after another. Her kids could use some guidance. It's time for Francesca to work her magic -- and the best place to start is in the kitchen.
