But before she can go home, Martha must learn who she really is, and her journey of discovery leads her south-from Baltimore and Tony's betrayal, to the Gulf coast of Florida and the friends she'd made in culinary school, when her dreams had felt within her reach.When she eventually returns to Baltimore, life offers her another chance at love. But Martha can't believe in love again until she first believes in herself.A Dream Worth Keepingis a story of friendship and loss, guilt and forgiveness.
