Flaky and light, tasty and nice, with just the right amount of spice.
5 years in the baking… a Patty Dream come true.
When I wrote the first draft of this story, one summer night, sitting on the balcony of my childhood home, I envisioned this story bringing my sister laughs. We used to make songs all the time, pulling them from thin air, bringing words together that felt and sounded right… this was a huge inspiration for this book.
So was the Patty War which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. I couldn’t have predicted that my book would come out just before it, but I believe in divine timing so thank you God.
And now, I get to share Patty Dreams with you.
Finally!
