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!!
