A Long Line of Cakes

(4) 4-6 This fourth book set in Aurora County, Mississippi, introduces the Cakes, a family of itinerant bakers who chaotically move from town to town--as Emma's father vaguely tells her, they come when needed and will stay "as long as it takes." Eight Cakes and multiple past characters (see, for example, Love, Ruby Lavender) create a large, quirky population, albeit one with few depths.
