“Zell is a young widow who, a year after her husband tragically dies, still cannot seem to move forward from her grief. Nine-year-old Ingrid lives next-door with her father and is stuck on finding her mother, whom she believes to be the popular TV chef, Polly Pinch. The two form an unlikely friendship and join forces to enter the “Desserts that Warm the Soul” baking contest: an apropos title since this book, indeed, has the ingredients to warm the souls of all. Funny and touching, this debut novel will especially appeal to high school girls.”
