Last customers at the Coffee Cottage gone for the day, Jane and I tore into the eagerly anticipated package. Expecting early sample copies of “The Essence of Courage,” imagine our surprise when we found five copies of “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” with publishing company advertising on the covers.

Choosing the items Cinnamah-Brosia serves at her Coffee Cottage proved to be great fun and a little overwhelming.
