What is better than wisdom? Woman. And what is
better than a good woman? Nothing.
—Geoffrey Chaucer
“I loved this book.” Hester Winthrop stroked the paperback on her lap as if
it were a cat. “I underlined a bunch of passages, but my favorite line was
when A-ma said, ‘Always remember that food is medicine, and medicine is
food.’”
The perfect arch of Estella’s left brow rose a centimeter. “Your food is
more like therapy than actual medicine.”
Hester laughed. “Come on. Does broccoli make you feel better when
you’re down? No, it doesn’t. Certain times call for donuts and chocolate
cake and pecan pie with ice cream. If comfort food isn’t medicine, then I
don’t know what is.”
“Maybe I should shelve a few baking books in the Health section,” said
Nora Pennington, proprietor of Miracle Books.
June Dixon, Guest Experience Manager at Miracle Springs Lodge, a
high-class resort frequented by guests from all over the world, peered at her
friends from over the rims of her reading glasses. “All I can say is that I’m
glad to be living in this era of body positivity. When I was in school, back
in the Stone Age, girls were always trash-talking other girls. I don’t know
why, but we all did it. From the top of our heads right on down to our toes,
we were too big, too small, too pointy, too wide. No one wore the right
clothes. And don’t even get me started on hair. You don’t know nasty until
you hear what some folks say about Black hair.”
“That kind of thing doesn’t stop when girls become women either,” said
Estella. “Every time I put two ladies of any age, race, or class under the
blow-dryers together, they start picking apart the celebrities in People. I
don’t know why all women can’t just be happy when other women succeed.
Why can’t we tell another woman they look good without worrying about
how we look?”
Hester smiled at Estella. “You always look good. And June? You’re
channeling Etta James with that new do.”
June passed a hand over her head. She usually kept it close-cropped, but
Estella had convinced her to rock a teeny-weeny, icy-blond Afro. “Which
tea would Etta order?” she asked as she studied the paper menu on the table
before her. “Beau-Tea-Ful or Feeling Flir-Tea?”
Nora removed her copy of Lisa See’s The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane
from her bag and placed it on the table. She was ready to order and get their
book discussion going.
“I’m going to try the Flir-Tea,” she said. “I’ve never had tea with
hibiscus and apple before.”
