Chickpea Lover (Not a Cookbook)

by D-L Nelson

Liz Adams, a much-loved nursing professor, is barely holding on to her deteriorating marriage when she meets and falls in love with Peter. Peter, who owns a Middle Eastern food stand, dresses up in vegetable costumes to attract customers. When she discovers she's pregnant, Liz finds the courage to ask for a divorce. She faces material and financial deprivation while at the same time loses her job. As Liz struggles to overcome the challenges in her life and create a new life with Peter, she also learns about living up to others' expectations -- and her own.
