 January's Book

From the critically acclaimed author of "The Music Lesson" and "Triangle" comes the ingenious, witty, and affecting fictional story of Zip's Candies, a family-run candy factory trying to stay alive after 85 years in the business. When Alice starts working at Zip's Candy factory, she gets more than a job- she gets an entire life. The story, told as an affidavit given during a family feud for control of Zip's Candy, recounts Alice's marriage into the Ziplinsky family, her efforts to belong, and her devotion to the company.
