I've read many sensory stories in my time, but I can think of only two that made me hungry: "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and The Osceola Community Club. Remember all those delectable dishes in Irving's "Legend"? Those "heaped-up platters of cakes"! Those "dainty slapjacks, well buttered, and garnished with honey"! Well, Darlene Eaton gives us equally tasty fare in The Osceola ...

Osceola shines!
Ah! Osceola! Hmm....quite impressive. Interesting story! As a Filipina-American, I know how important it is to define your cultural background...how our stories of struggles & successes help shape not only us but those we share it with...how so little can shape someone to have a strong mind! With the author & Ms. Mays both currently residing in Dallas, it makes me like the book even more. The ...
