A full-hearted novel about a big-city baker who discovers
the true meaning of home—and that sometimes the best things
are found when you didn’t even know you were looking When Olivia Rawlings—pastry chef extraordinaire for an
exclusive Boston dinner club—sets not just her flambéed
dessert but the entire building alight, she escapes to the
most comforting place she can think of—the idyllic town of
Guthrie, Vermont, home of Bag Balm, the country’s
longest-running contra dance, and her best friend Hannah.
But the getaway turns into something more lasting when
Margaret Hurley, the cantankerous, sweater-set-wearing owner
of the Sugar Maple Inn, offers Livvy a job. Broke and
knowing that her days at the club are numbered, Livvy accepts. Livvy moves with her larger-than-life, uberenthusiastic dog,
Salty, into a sugarhouse on the inn’s property and begins
creating her mouthwatering desserts for the residents of
Guthrie. She soon uncovers the real reason she has been
hired—to help Margaret reclaim the inn’s blue ribbon status
at the annual county fair apple pie contest. With the joys of a fragrant kitchen, the sound of banjos and
fiddles being tuned in a barn, and the crisp scent of the
orchard just outside the front door, Livvy soon finds
herself immersed in small town life. And when she meets
Martin McCracken, the Guthrie native who has returned from
Seattle to tend his ailing father, Livvy comes to
understand that she may not be as alone in this world as she
once thought. But then another new arrival takes the community by
surprise, and Livvy must decide whether to do what she does
best and flee—or stay and finally discover what it means to
belong. Olivia Rawlings may finally find out that the life
you want may not be the one you expected—it could be even
better.
