From the beloved cookbook author Julia Turshen, a queer love story set in your new favorite town, Sungold.

Frankie doesn’t quite know what to make of Paige, who’s just moved from Brooklyn to her quiet Upstate New York hometown with all the pressed-clothes polish of a city girl. Paige, with her eight-year-old son in tow, is seeking refuge from a rocky relationship and is equally thrown by Frankie: Why can’t she stop thinking about this eternally single, charming, gay vegetable farmer? And could the attraction she’s feeling grow into something more?

Julia Turshen is a New York Times bestselling cookbook author. She writes a twice-weekly newsletter, teaches online cooking classes, farms part time at Long Season Farm, and is a competitive powerlifter. The Washington Post called her latest cookbook, , “absolutely genius.” Julia lives in the Hudson Valley with her spouse Grace and their many pets.
