The Union Street Bakery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662531002)

From the bestselling author of The Brighter the Light comes a bittersweet and hopeful story about how one woman's journey into her family's past helps her embrace her future.

Daisy McCrae's life got off to a rocky start. Abandoned by a mother she never really knew, she was adopted into a family she's never truly felt a part of. Thirty years later, her life is just as rocky. Between losing her job and her boyfriend, she's lost all sense of self.

Now Daisy is back where it all began: the Union Street Bakery. She's resigned to living in the bakery's attic, learning the family business, and saving it if she can. But patching up the holes in her relationship with her sisters is another story.

So, too, is the century-old journal she inherits. Written by an enslaved girl named Susie, the weathered pages offer Daisy a glimpse into a past that has everything to do with her present.

As Daisy learns more about Susie, the town, and her family, she starts to see who she's been and who she wants to be--and realizes that maybe, no matter how much you've lost, there's always something more to find.
