One friend taught her to make scape-bread. “Knead it hard for
at least ten minutes; I work out all my anger when I’m making bread!”
Another showed her that dough was in want of caresses rather
than pummelling. “Fold gently; treat it with respect: it is a living creature.”
So it is that she lives life as an apprentice baker, beating
her frustrations into those around her, or nurturing their growth, as the day
takes her.
