In 1885, Emelia Stone and her sister must learn to operate their deceased parents’ bakery in a small town in Pennsylvania. A large mortgage looms on their family home. When her sister leaves town, Emelia is forced to handle the bakery and burden alone.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is searching for the perfect dessert for its passengers. Joe Sawicki, owner of Sawicki Brothers Ice Company, is certain Emelia can win the contest and the hundred- dollar bonus if she creates a special ice cream to accompany her popular huckleberry pies. He has loved her since they played hooky in grade school to explore the company’s ice cave.
Can Emelia find courage to stand up to the town’s bully to win the competition? And will Joe have the mettle to express his undying love and win first place in Emelia’s heart?

My mother's cousins worked for the PRR. I used to love to hear their stories. When I was a girl, we visited an ice cave in PA in July. It still amazes me!
ReplyDeleteIce caves were a strange phenomenon. Unfortunately, many were destroyed with mining. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteI'm so fascinated by this post. I don't know about ice caves. I heard there is one in Oklahoma, but we haven't traveled from Texas to see it. Your book sounds unique and intriguing.
