![]() ![]() ![]() And Tess can't seem to find the right words to talk to Ma about it. Who will buy ice cream in their shop's run-down neighborhood? What will happen when their money runs out? Worst of all is Ma herself-she's famous for her boundless energy and grandiose ideas, but only Tess and Jordan know about the dark days when she crashes and can't get out of bed. (Too bad the only place she could find an apartment is in a senior citizens' complex.) Tess wants to be excited about this plan, but life in Schenectady is full of new worries. She abruptly moves the family to snowy Schenectady, New York, where she will use the last of their savings to open her dream business: an ice cream shop. Their plucky Texan mother talks big, but her get-rich-quick business schemes have only landed them in serious financial hot water. The road has been especially rocky lately for Tess and her deaf little brother, Jordan. Whenever things get tough, they break out the special heart-shaped bowls and make sundaes. Ice cream warms the heart, no matter what the weather. ![]()
