The Secret of Orange Blossom Cake by Rachel Linden
In my video review, I mistakenly refer to her previous title as The Secret of Lemon Drop Pie – I should called it The Magic of Lemon Drop Pie! Sorry for the mis-spoken title! Both books are amazing!

“Well, yes, ma'am, I do... I mean, I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... to make each day count.”

Hello Cecelia...Thank you for accepting my friendship into your circle of friends. I look forward to reading your books. Happy Reading & Writing to you. :)
Hey Abigail Yes, I do enjoy Karen's writing. She's a good author. Yes, I've written three Heartsongs. One of them, Milk Money, is available as an e-book.
I see one of your favorite authors is Karen Witemeyer, Mine too! I have read all of her books except A Short-Straw Bride. I love all the Heartsong books! I see you write some of them.
Thanks for accepting my friend request!
