Bake Sale
by Suzanne Kamata
Laura Murata is a university professor in Japan. She is also a divorced mother of Maya, a seven-year-old girl. Widower Kazu Mori is a dentist. He is raising his son, Max, on his own. The two parents meet at the holiday bake sale at Tokyo Cherry Blossom International School where their kids are great friends.
Laura and Kazu are sweet on each other from the moment they meet, and soon their two families are spending time together. Christmas Eve, the biggest date night of the year, draws near. Kazu asks Laura to dinner, and Laura is thrilled. Things are going so well! But will misunderstandings make their budding relationship crumble?
Love requires honesty, but not too much!
