Joan Betty Stuchner loved stories. When she wasn’t writing, she worked in a library, taught part-time and acted in community theater. Honey Cake was launched, with great fanfare, on June 10th 2007, at Solly’s Bagelry, 7th and Yukon. Cynthia Nugent and the author gave a dramatic and musical presentation. There was a klezmer band, good food and a wonderful crowd of people. And what a weekend: Saturday was the Spring Book Hatchings at VPL and Sunday was the book's official launch. OCTOBER 2007: the author had a wonderful Honey Cake reading junket in Sheffield England for the Off The Shelf Reading and Writing Festival. For three days she read to school groups in six public libraries. She met a lot of dedicated teachers and library staff, as well as eager, book loving children. David Nathan’s home in Copenhagen has always been filled with laughter, family, and his father’s famous pastries. But life has changed since Nazi soldiers arrived. Sweets are scarce. His parents are worried. And even though David wants to be brave, the soldiers and their new rules have made everyone nervous. Then one day, David is asked to keep a very special secret. It could get him into trouble . . . maybe even danger. But if David shows courage, this secret could save many lives. Condition: Very good.
