  • "Ruth bakes cakes for every occasion and for all reasons. She sees it as an outward manifestation of an inner need to nurture her family--an unemployed husband, two teenagers, a physical therapist, her frightened mother, and her rarely-seen lounge-singer father who has moved in sporting two broken wrists. Oh, yes, Ruth's mother and father really hate each other."@en
  • ""Ever since childhood, Ruth has found baking cakes to be a source of relief from the stresses of life. And now - as her husband loses his job, her life-of-the-party father arrives for an extended stay (much to the dismay of her mother, who also moved in recently), and her teenage daughter perfects the art of sulking - Ruth is going to need some serenity. But she also needs a plan. Because with funds running low and tempers running short, her family requires more than the perfect sweet. It's going to be up to Ruth to save the day, and let the crumbs fall where they may..."."
  • ""This is a story of how my life was saved by cake," says Ruth, who loves to bake. She thinks cake has gotten a bad rap and that people who refuse a slice have "completely lost touch with joy." When Ruth's husband loses his job, her estranged father needs a place to recover from broken wrists, her teenage daughter has serious growing pains, and life is spinning out of control, Ruth simply pictures herself safe inside the ring of a warm Bundt cake. She does not know how her family will cope with the upheaval in their lives until cake comes to the rescue in a marvelous way."@en
  • "Ruth has always baked cakes as a way to nurture her family, and when her mother and father, who happen to despise one another, move in with them, Ruth finds herself baking up a storm in the hopes of promoting peace."
  • "If there's a crisis, Ruth bakes a cake; if there's a reason to celebrate, she bakes a cake. Ruth sees her cake-baking as an outward manifestation of an inner need to nurture her family."@en
  • "Ruth loves to bake cakes. She sees it as an outward manifestation of an inner need to nurture her family-- which is a good thing, because all of a sudden that family is rapidly expanding. First her mother, and then her father, moves in-- they just happen to hate each other with a deep and poisonous emotion reserved only for life-long enemies. Add to ths mix two teenagers, a suddenly unemployed husband, and a physical therapist with the instincts of a Ceryl Richardson and you've got a delightful and amusing concoction that comes with its own delicious icing."
  • "Ruth loves to bake cakes. When she is alone, she dreams up variations on recipes. When she meditates, she imagines herself in the warm, comforting center of a gigantic bundt cake. If there is a crisis, she bakes a cake; if there is a reason to celebrate, she bakes a cake. Ruth sees it as an outward manifestation of an inner need to nurture her family'which is a good thing, because all of a sudden that family is rapidly expanding. First, her mother moves in after robbers kick in her front door in broad daylight. Then Ruth's father, a lounge singer, who she's seen only occasionally throughout her life, shatters both wrists and, having nowhere else to go, moves in, too. Her mother and father just happen to hate each other with a deep and poisonous emotion reserved only for life-long enemies. Oh, yes indeed! Add to this mix two teenagers, a gainfully employed husband who is suddenly without a job, and a physical therapist with the instincts of a Cheryl Richardson and you've got a delightful and amusing concoction that comes with its own delicious icing. One of Jeanne Ray's specialties is giving us believable, totally likable characters, engaged in the large and small dramas and amusements of life. Eat Cake is whimsical, warm, and satisfying. Eat Cake is Jeanne Ray at her best. Pull up a chair and eat cake!"
