Family reservations : a novel
(Book)

"Maren Winter is a world-renowned restaurateur who has built an empire. No one heeds the whispers of her retirement more closely than her three daughters, all in service to their mother's legacy. On the night of Maren's annual New Year's Eve party, a line is crossed, and word of a humiliating family meltdown spreads like a Northern California wildfire through the culinary elite. It's a golden opportunity for one of them to step into power and a trigger for a spiraling descent into paranoia and blind ambition. As the Winter family's dissolution begins, so does a journey of competition, love, loyalty, self-preservation, and the need for three women to forge a path of their own" --,Dust jacket flap.
