Let 'em Eat Cake: A Novel

When the heat in Brooklyn climbs to a hundred theres only one thing worse than being a delivery man for HomeMade Cakes.  Its being a delivery woman for Homemade.  Because Anna the feisty heroine of this earthy and irreverent novel has to put up with things that her male co-workers cant imagine from a boss who despises women to storekeepers who feel her up when they arent trying to rip her off for the price of a carton of Chocos.   As realized by Susan Jerden Anna is a true representative of blue-collar no-glitz New York a valiant single mother whose attempts to keep her head above water—and her dignity intact—are both hilarious and uplifting. Let Em Eat Cake is a novel for anyone who has ever worked at a demeaning job and dreamed of dancing on the merchandise a book as real as a corner bodega and as refreshing as an open hydrant  in the middle of a scolding summer.
