Family: comfort food or a recipe for disaster? Award-winning storyteller and performer Regi Carpenter brings her humor and honesty to print in Where Thereās Smoke, Thereās Dinner.

These honest talesāsome hilarious, some heartbreakingācelebrate the glorious and gut-wrenching lives of four generations of Carpenters raised on the Saint Lawrence River in Clayton, New York. From teenagers struggling to find their identity to disabled veterans grappling with the aftermath of war and change to the complications and sweetness of love between family members, this collection of linked short stories holds the universal message that lifeās difficulties are softened by love and fortitude . . . and family.
āInventive, insightful, emotionally nuanced in the midst of deadpan humor; but more than that, here is a great, big-hearted embrace of the world.ā āLoren Niemi, producer, Two Chairs Telling
āThis book brings us to a place where we discover the eventual and abiding power of love over death. It is so very loving and affirming of total recovery from childhood and of the power of forgiveness that heals in two directions.ā āDonald Davis, author of Tales from a Free-Range Childhood
