6. 6Brenda's Bitter BakeInvestigate Brenda Peterson, owner of a rival bakery. She's fiercely competitive and financially strained. Could her ambition have driven her to steal Sal's secret?

• The Echo of Your Gaze

  Supernatural events or occurrences were nothing out of the ordinary to Maiden, as she walked and talked with God always in the spiritual realm as far back as she could remember. And being born within a spiritually and culturally rich nation of people that were "close to the Earth," such as Maiden's own Native American people, it wasn't unusual for any of them to nonchalantly begin sharing spiritual experiences amongst each other or even with outsiders. So naturally, Maiden would have never dreamt that the day would come that supernatural events would begin occurring in her life that were not only difficult to explain to others, but mkre importantly difficult to explain to herself that they were indeed occurring in general and not only just "all in her head." She knew the events were real. They HAD to be. How else could she explain the presence that she felt late at night not only in her mind, but all over her body, weaving his way inside and outside of her most delicate and tender completely intimate places? One thing was for sure: she wasn't crazy. And another thing that was even more for sure? She was never alone.
