A CIA agent's wife seeks the perfect holiday cake but walks away with something far sweeter. A former boy-soldier orders an engagement cake, then, between sips of tea, shares an enthralling story ... Weary human rights workers drop in, and heartsore limo drivers. Amid this cacophony of native tongues, love affairs, and confessions, Angel's kitchen is an oasis where people tell their secrets, where hope abounds and help awaits." "In this unlikely place, in the heart of Rwanda, unexpected things are beginning to happen: A most unusual wedding is planned ... a heartbreaking mystery - involving Angel's own family - unravels ... and extraordinary connections are made among the men and women who have tasted Angel's beautiful cakes ... as a chain of events unfolds that will change Angel's life - and the lives of those around her - in the most astonishing ways."--BOOK JACKET.
