The Perfect Ingredient (Dare Valley)
“The older house where April lived certainly wasn’t grand, but its contents felt delightfully familiar, like the music box resting on the mantle. Natalie used to crank it on snowy days, twirling the models around to “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from her favorite childhood movie, The Wizard of Oz.
And then there was the family farmer’s table boasting nicks and scratches from its long years of watching them grow. Their mom hadn’t taken everything from her house in Denver with their dad, but this t...able… Well, it had been more hers than his anyway. Their mom had sat with them at this table while they did their homework. She’d set cakes blazing with candles in front of them on their birthdays, as the lucky kid sat in the prized head of the table position, the guest of honor for a day.
