Gr 4–6—The Cakes are a family of itinerant bakers. They move from place to place  and 11 year old Emma Alabama Lane Cake doesn’t like it. She is tired of making friends only to have to leave them behind when her father decides it’s time to move to the next town he feels needs their baking services.

This time though Emma feels that there’s something special about this town.

Even though she longs for a new friend she’s just not sure she’s up to it.

However, Ruby Lavender  of  Halleluia, MS  has other ideas.

Readers do not need to have read any of the other “Aurora County” novels to follow this novel about belonging.
