Résumé

In the bustling streets of early 20th-century New York, Angelina Busto's life is shaped by determination and grit. A worker in a garment district "sweat shop, " she stumbles into a fortuitous challenge at the Morristown Bakery-a contest of confections that changes her future. Her cupcakes win over the discerning palate of Hershel Gerber, a former Army cook turned baker and earns her a job that showcases her talents.
As "The Cupcake Queen of New York, " Angelina forges bonds with loyal customers, like Mrs. Cohn, who visits daily for her rugelach, even as she wrestles with the mounting pressure from her mother to marry. On the other side of the country, Harlan Graves faces struggles of his own. A widowed rancher in the wide-open expanse of the West, he grapples with the challenges of raising a spirited young daughter, Bernice, on his own.
When Bernice, miserable at a boarding school over 100 miles away, takes matters into her own hands and runs away from school and finds her way home, Harlan is left uncertain about how to guide her through life's trials without her mother by her side. Unlikely connections form across the miles when a high school friend of Angelina's-now a nun-discovers Harlan's plight and sees a potential match for her old friend.
Angelina, with no promising suitors among her Italian contacts, and Harlan, with his quiet strength and struggling family, begin an exchange of letters. What follows is a mail-order bride story turned on its head-a journey of discovery not only between two strangers but within themselves. This is a tale of resilience and faith, where the sweetness of cupcakes is balanced by the challenges of blending lives and healing wounds.
With humor, heart, and the guiding hand of grace, The Princess of Pudding River explores the intersection of lives separated by thousands of miles but brought together by purpose, love, and hope. Come share in their story, where the spirit of family is as rich as a perfectly baked cupcake, and second chances unfold with every turn of the page.
Ken Lord is a born-again Christian, an octogenarian, a husband to Mary, and a father to Timothy. He's retired, as you might imagine, and spends his spare time writing-for himself and others (it's called ghostwriting). He's a USAF veteran who has served in Japan and has been in every state in these United States. Also Australia, Mexico, and Canada. He traveled around the Pacific as a serviceman and later as a computer systems consultant.
He spent years of involvement with computers and is the author of a landmark series about microcomputers which, when they were needed, were spot-on but today are a part of ancient history. He was an instructor for the Air Force and in various businesses. He was an adjunct professor for several colleges, most recently the Oregon Institute of Technology. He holds:ABA (Data Processing) and BSBA (Business) degrees from U-Mass, Lowell.
EdM (Education) from Oregon State University, Corvallis. Doctoral credits from the University of Arizona, Tucson. He spent 17 years as a very successful Avon representative ("The cutest Avon "lady" in Tucson, Arizona") where he built a very large business. On his website (www.kenlordbooks.com) you'll find books that he's written about that, too. Today, in the twilight of his life, he plays the piano and sings at a Baptist church in Whiteville, NC, spends parts of three days a week in dialysis, and writes to legacy.
