NATALIE TAN'S BOOK OF LUCK AND FORTUNE
At the news of her mother's death, Natalie Tan returns home after seven lonely years traveling the world. The two women had not spoken since Natalie left home in anger when her mother refused to support her chosen career as a chef. A devastated Natalie is shocked to see the decline of her former vibrant neighborhood in San Francisco's Chinatown. She's even more surprised to find she has inherited her grandmother's restaurant.
There's a catch, however: she must cook three magical recipes to help her struggling neighbors before she'll be able to make the restaurant a success. Unfortunately, Natalie has no desire to help them try to turn things around - she resents the local shopkeepers for leaving her alone to take care of her agoraphobic mother for so many years. But with the help of a surprising new friend and a geeky-and-adorable new love interest, Natalie starts to realize that maybe her neighbors really were there for her all along. And when the recipes all start to backfire, Natalie must figure out if she can fix things or follow her usual instincts to cut and run when things get tough.
