About this item

Lizzy and Jane couldnt be further from Jane Austens famous sisters for whom they are named. Elizabeth left her familys home in Seattle fifteen years ago to pursue her lifelong dreamchefing her own restaurant in New York City. Jane stayed behind to raise a family.

In need of some rest and an opportunity to recover her passion for cooking, Elizabeth jumps at the excuse to rush to her sisters bedside when Jane is diagnosed with cancer. After all, Elizabeth did the same for their mother.



About the Author
