Book Excerpt
Dalton and Grace
The elderly gent shuffled slowly along the salad bar island, lifting each vegetable with plastic tongs for closer inspection. He then deposited the item either onto his plate or back to a salad topping crock—although frequently not into the one from whence it had come. While a few diners grumbled as the line to the salad bar began to back up like rush-hour traffic, I savored the leisurely pace because we were dining at four-fifteen in the afternoon!
