Summary
Ruth has a chaotic life-divorced parents who nevertheless live with her, newly unemployed husband, difficult children-from which she takes refuge by imagining herself in the middle of a cake, preferably a Bundt cake. And because this is a comic novel, it seems that, as the family situation gets worse, maybe Ruth's cake fantasies will be the saving of them all. Recipes are included.
