Chapter 1: Something Sweet Called Life
This tale is about love, tragedy, thrills, and a mix of sweets. I just want to get that off my chest here and now. It’s a compilation of romance stories among interesting men of various ages. Some of the connected stories are warm and fuzzy while others proclaim sadness and hardship. But each takes place around a bakery in downtown Snowden, Pennsylvania called Cupcakes, the place where my love and passion existed at its fullest. My home away from home that was built on the recipe of the men who passed through its doors—its employees, patrons, villains, and passersby—those are the people who made Cupcakes rise like yeast and fill my life. Those men were my world and my delight.
