The Apple of His Ice Cream

 by Marcie McEachern from the November 23, 2020 issue


Tagline: When an ice cream vendor starts stealing business from her pie stand, Amanda never expects he'll be stealing her heart too!

Observations: Marcie McEachern is quickly becoming a regular contributor. Obviously, she's figured out what the editors like.

In this story you'll find two Woman's World tried and true elements.

  • A nostalgic Norman Rockewellian event like apple picking
  • Comfort food x two!
I truly enjoyed seeing the heroine wrestle with her conscience and choose to take the high road. Sometimes reading a Woman's World story is like the opposite of watching a reality show in that we can actively see people making good choices that demonstrate character.

This story has a great premise. Wish I'd have thought to do that...mix two tried and true ideas.

Love your comment about the opposite of reality TV shows.

Very good autumn story.

Aw, I'm glad you liked the story! I worked in the restaurant business for several years, sometimes running a food truck in the summer so this was a really fun story to cook up!
