Life can turn on a dime. It’s a common cliché, and I’d heard
it often enough. People die or move away. Investments go
south. Affairs end. Loved ones betray us...Stuff happens.
Daisy McCrae’s life is in tatters. She’s lost her job,
broken up with her boyfriend, and has been reduced to living
in the attic above her family’s store, the Union Street
Bakery, while learning the business. Unfortunately, the
bakery is in serious hardship. Making things worse is the
constant feeling of not being a “real” McCrae since she was
adopted as a child and has a less-than-perfect relationship
with her two sisters.
Then a long-standing elderly customer passes away, and for
some reason bequeaths Daisy a journal dating back to the
1850s, written by a slave girl named Susie. As she reads,
Daisy learns more about her family—and her own heritage—than
she ever dreamed. Haunted by dreams of the young Susie, who
beckons Daisy to “find her,” she is compelled to look
further into the past of the town and her family.
What she finds are the answers she has longed for her entire
life, and a chance to begin again with the courage and
desire she thought she lost for good.
