The town
Welcome to Cedar Hollow
A bandstand on the green, the Sugar Maple Diner on Spruce, and a spice and pastry shop on Maple Street where the jars are labelled in Asha’s own handwriting — cumin, cardamom, coriander, and three kinds of cinnamon, because Americans only know one.
It is late March. The snow is going. The Maple Festival is about to begin.
