"The Townsend Family Recipe for Disaster" by Shauna Robinson
"Mae Townsend has always dreamed of connecting with her estranged Black family in the South. Relatives who looked like her, crowded dinner tables, and the Townsend family barbecue, a tradition that kept her late father flying to North Carolina year after year. But as her wedding draws closer, promising a future of always standing out among her white in-laws, when her paternal grandmother dies she decides it's time to head South. She finds a family in turmoil, a long-standing grudge, a lost mac & cheese recipe causing grief, and a family barbecue on the brink of disaster. Not willing to let her dreams of family slip away, Mae steps up to throw a barbecue everyone will remember." - NoveList Plus
