Bok av Joyce Magnin
More than frosting filled those cakes...Wilma Sue seems destined to go from one foster home to the next-until she is sent to live with sisters and missionaries, Ruth and Naomi. Do they really care about Wilma Sue, or are they just looking for a Cinderella-style farmhand to help raise chickens and bake cakes?As Wilma Sue adjusts to her new surroundings and helps deliver "e;special"e; cakes, Wilma Sue realizes there's something strange going on. She starts looking for secret ingredients, and along the way she makes a new friend, Penny.When Penny and her mother hit a rough patch, Naomi decides to make her own version of cake-with disastrous results. Then tragedy strikes the chickens, and all fingers point to Wilma Sue-just when she was starting to believe she could at last find a permanent home with Ruth and Naomi. Will the sisters turn her out, or will she discover what it feels like to be truly loved?
