Briars_Reviews | Aug 4, 2023 |   Diane Keyes has done one miraculous job I had never expected to see in my life - she wrote a novel collecting Wendy's, family, love, and warm, happy feelings all in one. This book truly hits all the right notes for me - it's sweet, inspiring, heart melting and everything I needed in my life today. It's a book that celebrates family - whether it be by blood or through experiences. And I can't recommend this book enough! This small but mighty book is a non-fiction recount of how a family came together for lunch once at week at Wendy's. Diane highlights some of the rough and tough times that will make your heart clench up, but she also delivers some beautiful, motivating stories as well. Your heart won't be able to take the extravagant roller coaster Diane makes in this book! One lesson I learned from this book: Family is powerful. Blood does not always define the family, and Diane shows this. She not only shows her strong bond with her genetically related family, but the friendships and bonds you can make with others. These simple lunches (that seem like such a silly but genius idea) really highlight how one small change (like meeting up with friends once a week) can really affect you! I truly appreciate Diane's hard work. You can tell this story is coming from the heart! Not only does it give a historical background, but it gives you an emotional one too. I am totally inspired by this novel, and I recommend everyone who wants a little splash of happiness and empathy in their life to pick this up. Five out of five stars. I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads. (  ) Briars_Reviews | Aug 4, 2023 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Award-winning author, Diane Keyes, tells of her journey from heartache to wholeness in her memoir, "To Wendy's With Love." Forty years after a brain hemorrhage stole her childhood and left her feeling alone and angry, Keyes began having lunch with her mom every week, finding healing in an unlikely place--a fast-food restaurant. What happens along the way is a tribute to the power of the family meal--changing her life and all those who join Diane and her mom around the Wendy's table. It is there the pieces come together, perspectives shift, old memories find new meaning, and new memories are made. Pull up a chair and let the book's powerful lessons on relationship change your life. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Update** I read this again in 2020 because I needed some positivity back in my life due to all the crazy going on in this world right now. It was worth it. (
