Alexandra the Grate: Who Insisted Life Be Well Done - Paperback

Unceremoniously thrown into the workforce after a lifetime of playing the dutiful wife and mother, Alexandra Silvers takes on a new role: that of a cooking instructor. As a staff member of the enormously successful School of Culinary Arts, Alex gets more than she bargained for. From students pilfering cutlery to a supervisor whose shriek can only be heard by the neighborhood dogs, it can be said that everything is going relatively well--although not smoothly.

Hungry to satisfy the emptiness of her broken marriage and yearning to feel desired, she agrees to be the face of a new cooking show--and to spend time with the school's handsome CEO, Ted Hudson. As Alexandra the Grate, she is forced to find her footing as a new woman in a new world.

Determined to emerge from a difficult but exciting year as a woman of accomplishment, she embraces each challenge. For Alexandra expects--and receives--a life that sizzles in and out of the kitchen.
