<p>We provide the cake pan and decorating supplies...you provide the cake and LOVE! Unlike past years, we won’t be hosting the cake decorating at the library. But tradition is tradition, and we are no Grinch here at the library. Simply register by 4pm on February 9 to reserve a cake pan. Then come pick it up on February 11 along with all the toppings and tools you need to decorate it. Pro tip: Decorate the cake after baking it, not before.</p>

<p><em>Summary of the novel:</em></p>
<p>Suddenly orphaned by the Spanish flu epidemic in the fall of 1918, eleven-year-old Lydia Pierce and her fourteen-year-old brother, Daniel, of Portland, Maine, are taken by their uncle to be raised in the Shaker community at Sabbathday Lake. Thrust into the Shakers’ unfamiliar way of life, Lydia must grapple with a new world that is nothing like the one she used to know.</p>
<p>Now separated from her beloved brother, for men and women do not mix in this community, Lydia must adjust to many changes. But in time, and with her courageous spirit, she learns to find the joy in life again.</p><p class="readmore"><a href="https://www.stoningtonlibrary.org/event/book-club-willow/">Register for this event</a></p><div style="clear:both"></div></div></div>'); ){kind=link}
