Walker County’s Lookout Mountain, Ga., author Ferris Robinson is the author of “Making Arrangements.”

Author Ferris Robinson, of Lookout Mountain, ties her books in with cooking.

Robinson wrote two successful cookbooks, then began writing her first novel, “Making Arrangements,” four years ago.

Published earlier this year by Kindle Press, “Making Arrangements” is about a woman – Lang Eldridge – who survives cancer. As she is celebrating her one year of survival with a trip, her husband drops dead of a heart attack.

Though faced with many more challenges, she again overcomes.

The book loosely correlates with Robinson’s own life. At age 34, her husband had to have open heart surgery.
