Women's Fiction
The life of 31-year-old trophy wife Wynter Morrison suddenly
changes course when her husband announces one evening that
their marriage is over. Emotionally devastated and desperate
for a change of scenery, Wyn moves to Seattle where she
spends aimless hours at a local bakery, sipping coffee and
inhaling the sweet aromas of freshly-made bread. These
visits bring back memories of her long-ago apprenticeship at
a French boulangerie, and when offered a position at the
bakery, Wyn quickly accepts -- hoping that the rituals of
baking will help her move on. Working long hours among the bakery's cluster of eclectic
women -- Linda, the irascible bread baker; earth mother
Ellen and her partner Diane; and Tyler, the blue-haired
barista -- Wyn awakens to the truths that she missed while
living the good life in Hancock Park. Soon Wyn discovers that making bread possesses an unexpected
and wondrous healing power, helping her to rediscover that
nothing stays the same... bread rises, pain fades, the heart
heals, and the future beckons.
