In the third book of this amus­ing series, pro­tag­o­nist Sar­alee Siegel uses the mag­i­cal pow­er of her super nose to trav­el back in time. There, she meets her great-grand­moth­er, Gigi, and encour­ages her to fol­low her dream of found­ing a restau­rant. Sar­alee uses the scent of Gigi’s aro­mat­ic Hanukkah donuts as the por­tal for her trip to the past. When Gigi’s courage begins to wane, and her resolve to start a restau­rant buck­les under a lack of sup­port, Sar­alee reminds her great-grand­moth­er that her choic­es will affect the future of her family.

A fun, deli­cious romp through the past and the present, A Donut in Time is a charm­ing read, instill­ing in a sweet hol­i­day tale the mes­sage that some chal­lenges are worth pursuing.
