My Grandmother Rebecca

Elissa Ely's Grandmother Rebecca was a fantastic baker, but she never ate her own cookies. As she grew older and her arthritis grew worse, she no longer had the dexterity to bake. Soon Elissa's baby will be born, and Elissa is looking forward to naming her new daughter Rebecca and teaching her to bake.
