When Suzan Colón, author of Cherries in Winter, was laid off from her dream job at a magazine during the economic downturn of 2008, she turned to her grandmother’s recipes. Reading them, Suzan realized she had found something more than a collection of delicious dishes—she had found the key to her family’s survival through hard times.
