The Cake Lady

"The Cake Lady" by Mildred White opens in a children's hospital ward at Christmas, where young Tessie Louise refuses to stop crying until she sees her beloved Miss Nora Dean — a generous woman who bakes doll-shaped cakes for sick children and once took Tessie home to her lakeside cottage for a whole summer month.
