Dear Readers and Friends,

I hope you enjoy Comfort Food: A Novel and its character-driven realism. Your purchasing independently produced work allows new voices to be heard. My wish is for more readers like you to get lost, and found, within its pages.

Thank you and keep in touch,

Noah Ashenhurst
