"Snowdrop Dreams, Cherry Thumbprint Screams" is a gripping mystery by Kimberly Baer. This novella cries out to be a made for television movie! It's heart wrenching and beautiful all rolled up into one. It's sold as a adult story, however except for a few brief scenes and light foul language it reads like a young adult book.

Annie Barkley age thirty-two owns the "Cookie Haven" bakery where cookies mysteriously go missing. Annie soon finds out that a terrified young boy (Benjie) has been hiding in the attic of the store and is in grave danger. Annie knows morally she should report this to her childhood friend Sam Stern (a well respected police office). However, given the complicated circumstances how can Annie be sure that Sam can really protect the boy?

Thank you NetGalley and The Wild Rose Press, Inc. For this e-book in exchange for my review.
