  AUTHORS NOTES

  Chapter One

  Ellie found peace in her work. In the kitchen, she could combine flour, butter, and sugar and it became a fluffy cake each and every time. Her hands fell into the rhythmic motion she’d made thousands of times before, the whisk creating fluffy mounds of egg whites that would become the structure of the cake. Creamy, white fondant could be rolled flat and pearlescent balls of sugar could be placed with precision to create snowflake patterns. Everything was precise and predictable.

  Unlike Ellie’s everyday life.

  “Mom!” a voice screeched from above her.

  She felt her heart shudder and her eyes jerked upward. Her son, a boy no more than four years old with dark hair that reached his shoulders, hung from the door of an open cabinet like it was a vine and he was a wild man in the jungle. Ellie’s jaw clenched, and she darted around the counter to reach for her boy.

  The kid laughed and skittered away from her reach, hauling himself into the narrow space between the cupboards and the ceiling. Every year, she thought he would outgrow the narrow space. Like a cat, every year, he proved her wrong.

  Before Ellie could put her hands on her hips and find her Mom voice, another person rushed into her sanctuary. Ellie’s mother reached up and coaxed the boy off his high perch, releasing him onto the floor, where he let out a high-pitched laugh before scampering into the living room.

  It was her mother’s turn to place her hands on her hips and turn an expectant look toward Ellie. A week ago, her parents had called to tell her they were leaving Florida and coming up to the Adirondacks to spend Christmas with Ellie and their grandson. It was a warm gesture that had excited her. It wasn’t often Casper got to see his grandparents and her sitter had just unexpectedly called it quits.

  Well, it wasn’t that unexpected considering her rambunctious child. Ellie couldn’t blame the sitter after she’d come home to find the house a mess of flour, the stuff floating in the air like a hazard cloud and clinging to every surface in the kitchen. But, it made work difficult for the single mother. There was a wedding reception coming up and a custom cake that needed to be on the center table before the happy couple even begun their vows.

  With her parents present, it should have been a breeze, but Ellie found her work harder than ever. More than once, she’d wished for a space of her own. She wished for a commercial kitchen away from her house, with giant convection ovens and an abundance of silence.

  Instead, she was still corralling Casper when his wild streaks brought him into her kitchen. She was fending off her mother’s reprimands for rearing such an energetic child, trying her best to smile and nod as her mother listed off a number of options to tire the boy by the end of the day. Half the time, Ellie kept her mouth shut and avoided pointing out that she had little time for the tips her mother shared. The other half the time, Ellie gave her mother a look that said it all.

  See what I mean? The word tired means nothing to him.

  Tired meant a lot to Ellie. It meant collapsing on the couch while Casper tied her hair in knots or micro naps at the counter while her cake layers baked in the oven.

  Ellie’s mother rolled her eyes, clearly not impressed with her daughter’s attempt to be a mother. Ellie waited for her mother to turn away before sticking her tongue out at the woman, yanking it back just as her mother turned back.
