Chocolate and Sangria
A Story About Loving Neighbours
by
Anneliese Sawatzky
When an old man bangs on Anne’s door to complain about her noisy children, it brings her to tears—but also sparks the beginning of an unlikely friendship. Determined to uncover the hidden charm beneath Stan’s gruff exterior, Anne takes it upon herself to help him navigate life after loss, unearthing lessons in resilience along the way. Years later, juggling the demands of a growing family and her husband’s all-consuming career, Anne plans a family vacation to nearby Harrison Lake. There, she meets Dieter, a kind and charismatic cabin owner who offers the family a unique opportunity. Now it’s Anne’s turn to rediscover herself beyond the roles of wife and mother, learning to follow her passions and find fulfillment in new beginnings. This heartwarming memoir explores the transformative power of friendship, offering a moving reflection on life and the ordinary moments that connect us all.
Anneliese Sawatzky lives in the historic village of Fort Langley, British Columbia, with her husband, George. Devoted to her family, she cherishes time spent with her children and ever-growing circle of grandchildren. Anne also finds joy and inspiration through her passions for travel, music, painting and writing.
