Instarec by Madison L
Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
Natalie is a super successful influencer. She shares her organic recipes, wholesome farm life, and growing family on her Instagram. What she doesn’t show is that she has a producer, farmers, and nannies on staff at Yesteryear Ranch, and she only pretends to love the lifestyle she preaches. However, she is going to have to learn to love it when, one day in 1855, she wakes up and finds herself forced to live the life she preaches to her millions of followers. A funny, eye-opening, and satirical take on the "tradwife" social media lifestyle.

My Husband's Wife by Alice Feeney
Eden just moved to the seaside with her husband. Life has been hard, but she’s excited for a fresh start. After her run, she heads back home to find her key no longer works, a woman who looks just like her answers the door, saying SHE is Eden and this is HER house…and her husband is pretending not to know who she is.

🌟 Our second featured storyteller is Judge Christine Mayle: Ohio 6th District Court of Appeals.

Read about how Judge Mayle carries the proud Portuguese and Irish traditions of her immigrant parents and grandparents, while celebrating the diverse cultures that make Northwest Ohio so vibrant. Toledo is a welcoming place that honors where we all came from. ❤️

Let Judge Mayle's story inspire you to explore your own heritage and the shared connections—like the universal language of food—that bring our community together.
