In the first novel of the Union Street Bakery series, Daisy McCrae learns how easily life can turn on a dime… Suddenly without a job or a boyfriend, Daisy now lives in the attic above her family’s store, the Union Street Bakery, while she learns the business. It doesn’t help that, as the only adopted daughter, her relationship with her sisters has never been easy. When an elderly customer dies, Daisy is surprised to inherit a journal from 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 explore the past more deeply. What she finds are the answers she has longed for her entire life.

Libby says I won‘t be getting any other books from my hold list any time soon (not that I believe that) but delivered this one to me yesterday.

Daisy returns home and begins working in the family bakery. She‘s lost her job and isn‘t thrilled by the prospect of working in the bakery, especially the getting up at 3:30 am part. But doing so may lead her to answers about the mother who abandoned her at the bakery when she was 3.

We love visiting Union Avenue Books when we come to Knoxville. It‘s a cool, indie bookstore. Plus, we found Doctor Who paper dolls there! Squeee!

"The life you want might not be the life you need". Truth and amen. Daisy McCrae had a great life as an investment banker with the shoes to show for it. A sour deal sends her home as a manager of the family bakery. A journal from 1850 sends her looking for her roots and herself.

Karenlovesbooks Sounds interesting! 8y
Jess_Read_This @Karenlovesbooks It was great! I needed more than 300 characters to do it justice. It was kind of like the Karen White Tradd series. I already bought the sequel and can't wait for it to arrive. 8y
