My book beginnings is taken from RISE & SHINE, BENEDICT STONE by Phaedra Patrick:



"As Benedict Stone huffed his way to work, the sweet smell of the cherry scones in Bake My Day made him forget for a moment that his wife, Estelle, had packed her purple suitcase and moved out of their home."

LOVING THE BOOK!!

  4. Love "Bake My Day" for the bakery's name. Details in the opening captured my interest: cherry scones (yum!) and purple suitcase. This sounds like a book I'd enjoy.
    My Friday post features The River of Corn.
