Bücher von Bryan Washington

Nach dem tragischen Verlust der Liebe seines Lebens hadert Cam mit allem, fühlt sich gestrandet und weiß nicht, wohin mit sich - und schottet sich gegen jegliche Hilfe, jegliche Zuneigung ab. Als er in Houston seinem alten Jugendfreund TJ über den Weg läuft, erfährt er, dass dieser immer noch im kleinen Restaurant seiner Eltern arbeitet, als Koch. Und nach und nach gelingt es dem warmherzigen und hartnäckigen TJ, Cam wieder ins Leben zurückzuholen, indem er ihn ins Familiengeschäft einbindet, ihn wieder zum Kochen bringt und ihm einen Weg zeigt, sich mit seiner Vergangenheit zu versöhnen. Wie sagt man so schön: Liebe geht durch den Magen.
