Summary

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. 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 she bequeaths to 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 had ever imagined. Haunted by dreams of the young Susie, she is compelled to look further into the past of the town and her family.

engaging

I found myself really liking these books, I usually listen to rom coms or murder mystery type of books so this was a bit different for me but I found myself getting sucked into the story, it's really interesting with the delving into the past history of the bakery and its inhabitants and having the real time story going on too.
I looked forward to diving back in whenever I could to find out what happened which is a sign of a good book, even though it wasn't what I'd call action packed I found it very interesting, I've now read both this and the next (sweet expectations) and I can see myself listening to them again at some point in the future

Great listen and thought provoking

The story will appeal to those interested in family history and relationships. It is as relevant today as in the past. Atmospheric and thought provoking in equal measure. Well worth a listen.
