Two starkly different women’s worlds collide, courtesy of their daughters, leaving them both to reconsider their lives.
“Nicole Brooks weaves a tale of inner and outer suspense, posing the question: which prison is worse, the one you make for yourself, or the one constructed for you? In this moving, delicate novel, two women with radically different lives both find themselves trapped. Cake is a fantastic exploration of how women are still coached to make decisions that will, in the end, imprison themselves—and how we can all break free.” –Rene Denfeld, bestselling author of The Child Finder, The Butterfly Girl and Sleeping Giants.
