Baking Second Chances

Fiction

“Baking Second Chances is a winsome, history-based story that transported me back to Olean, NY, where my mother Jean Bauer was involved with Icky’s Cookies in its formative years. I was barely in elementary school at that time, so until reading this book, I was unaware of the extent of her contributions. What I do remember is slipping into the kitchen with the son of the bakery’s owner to sample delicious sugar cookies as they cooled on tray racks. Thanks to author Ann Haut for filling in blank spots and stimulating warm memories of years gone by!”
