Publisher Description

Love, like chocolate, comes to us in many varieties—pure and simple, rich and complicated, sweet and bittersweet, and always memorable. Now, the creator of the bestselling Chocolate for a Woman's Soul serves up another selection of delectable new "chocolate stories," once again written by and especially for women.

These real-life tales celebrate the many ways we express our love, whether it be for a mate, parents, or children—even the acceptance of your own self—and challenge us to soar higher as we reach for our dreams.

You'll find strength in stories that honor the power of unconditional love, and learn a lesson in courage as you read about women facing their ultimate moments of truth. You'll take delight in a reflection on the ever-elusive perfect relationship, and find comfort in stories about the generosity of the human spirit.

Like the finest chocolate, these inspiring stories of love—drawn from the personal experiences of women from many walks of life—will boost your spirits, lift your heart, and soothe your soul.
