As The Pretzel Rolls: An Almost Daily Occurrence Of The Offbeat Happenings To A Pretzel Store Owner In Her Own Little Pretzel Land

Extraordinary turns of event from inside the walls of a pretzel shop! Pat Long's pretzel shop, Pretzel Land, is in the heart of Amish Country and puts her in contact with all sorts of people on a daily basis. Some are the salt of the earth (no pun intended) and others get all tied up in knots (OK, pun intended) being less than nice. From the hilarious (Amish hip-hop dancer, anyone? Or how about the four-year-old who sang along with Queen's "Fat Bottom Girls"?) to the absurd (such as a guest who thinks she possesses the power of invisibility)--and all the cases of mistaken identity and foul-mouthed customers in between--this book paints a lively picture of humankind at its best and worst. Some of these anecdotes will make you laugh, others will make you groan, and a few may just give your tear ducts a workout. So, sit back with your favorite snack (Would you like some cheese dip with that? How about a lemonade?) and enjoy these missives from deep inside her Pretzel Land! Pat was born in Baltimore, but eventually made her way to Central Pennsylvania and settled in for many years. After graduating in 1992 from Lycoming College with a degree in English and a New Testament Greek minor (yeah, very useful) she dedicated her early career to social services. Pat worked for Special Olympics Pennsylvania for a decade, overseeing volunteers all over the state and really hitting on her passion for sports and her compassion for the developmentally disabled. She married her partner in 2008 and began working for the American Cancer Society as a patient services advocate. In 2011, it was time to make a change, and she purchased a pretzel store in sleepy little Berks County, Pennsylvania.
