Each ticket ($36.00) includes:
* $20.00 contribution to local non-profit Feeding the Fosters, whose mission is to support foster families in the local Tampa Bay Area with hot homemade meals at dinner time, store-bought meals, and gift cards to continue the tradition of family mealtime.
* Multi-course dinner for one, prepared by book club member Amanda and themed around July's book club pick: The Kitchen Front by Jennifer Ryan
* One paperback copy of July's book club pick, The Kitchen Front by Jennifer Ryan ($18.00 list price, $2.00 discount)
PLUS ONES: if you’d like to bring a plus-one who does not need their own copy of The Kitchen Front, you can get a ‘plus one’ ticket from Crystel / Portkey Books for only the $20 charitable contribution.
Amanda's address will be emailed to ticket holders after purchase.

THE KITCHEN FRONT by Jennifer Ryan
From the bestselling author of The Chilbury Ladies’ Choir comes an unforgettable novel of a BBC-sponsored wartime cooking competition and the four women who enter for a chance to better their lives.
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY GOOD HOUSEKEEPING • “This story had me so hooked, I literally couldn’t put it down.”—NPR
Two years into World War II, Britain is feeling her losses: The Nazis have won battles, the Blitz has destroyed cities, and U-boats have cut off the supply of food. In an effort to help housewives with food rationing, a BBC radio program called The Kitchen Front is holding a cooking contest—and the grand prize is a job as the program’s first-ever female co-host. For four very different women, winning the competition would present a crucial chance to change their lives.
For a young widow, it’s a chance to pay off her husband’s debts and keep a roof over her children’s heads. For a kitchen maid, it’s a chance to leave servitude and find freedom. For a lady of the manor, it’s a chance to escape her wealthy husband’s increasingly hostile behavior. And for a trained chef, it’s a chance to challenge the men at the top of her profession.
These four women are giving the competition their all—even if that sometimes means bending the rules. But with so much at stake, will the contest that aims to bring the community together only serve to break it apart?
