The old bookstore was her favorite place in town. She was browsing when she saw a cookbook titled "Hidden Treasures of the South." She flipped it open, and there, she saw her grandmother's recipe for "Sweet Peach Cobbler," now called "Sunshine Delight." A smile spread across her face, mirroring the joy that bubbled inside her. She felt a kind of weightlessness, as if she were floating. The memory of her grandmother, the woman who taught her everything, was a warm feeling. She bought the cookbook and clutched it tight, savoring the moment.
