"Hope is as full of optimism as her name and there are lots of fabulous descriptions of food. Heartwarming" (Kit Spring Observer)
"It's a triumph of conviction, wit and style over social and political naivety" (Books for Keeps)
"How can you resist such a wholesome book which has the message that the antidote to miscontent and unhappiness in the world is good food, especially pecan pie?" (The School Librarian)
"Its triumph is the way in which Bauer manages to recount the internecine politics and power struggles of a small, midwestern town" (Michael Thorn Scotsman)
"This is a thought provoking, beautifully written novel" (Waterstones Books Quarterly)

But what they find is that the owner, G.T., isn't quite ready to give up yet--in fact, he's decided to run for mayor against a corrupt candidate. And as Hope starts to make her place at the diner, she also finds herself caught up in G.T.'s campaign--particularly his visions for the future. After all, as G.T. points out, everyone can use a little hope to help get through the tough times . . . even Hope herself.
