Artichokes & City Chicken: Reflections on Faith, Grief, and My Mother's Italian Cooking

Years after her mother's death, author Jan Groft finally faces the silence and secrets that separated them. Prompted by a prolonged struggle with writer's block, she embarks on a journey of listening with the heart. Part memoir, part spiritual guide, Artichokes & City Chicken is a candid and poignant encounter with unresolved grief. Like the recipes of Groft's mother sprinkled between chapters, the pages of Artichokes & City Chicken offer nourishment as they illuminate paths toward inner peace.
