In a novel as warm and embracing as a family kitchen, Barbara O’Neal explores the poignant, sometimes complex relationships between mothers and daughters—and the healing magic of homemade bread. Professional baker Ramona Gallagher is a master of an art that has sustained her through the most turbulent times, including a baby at fifteen and an endless family feud. But now Ramona’s bakery threatens to crumble around her. Literally. She’s one water-heater disaster away from losing her grandmother’s rambling Victorian and everything she’s worked so hard to build. When Ramona’s soldier son-in-law is wounded in Afghanistan, her daughter, Sophia, races overseas to be at his side, leaving Ramona as the only suitable guardian for Sophia’s thirteen-year-old stepdaughter, Katie. Heartbroken, Katie feels that she’s being dumped again—this time on the doorstep of a woman out of practice with mothering. Ramona relies upon a special set of tools—patience, persistence, and the reliability of a good recipe—when rebellious Katie arrives. And as she relives her own history of difficult choices, Ramona shares her love of baking with the troubled girl. Slowly, Katie begins to find self-acceptance and a place to call home. And when a man from her past returns to offer a second chance at love, Ramona discovers that even the best recipe tastes better when you add time, care, and a few secret ingredients of your own. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Barbara O'Neal's The All You Can Dream Buffet.

“Excellent… will leave you on the edge of your seats until the last page. This is one of the best books I’ve read all year.” Washington Post Mag ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I pause the screen and stare at her face, looking for some imperfection. A spot, a patch of caked make-up at the hairline, anything. But there’s nothing. Even frozen in time, she is perfect. The perfect face, for her perfect life… It may have been six years since they met, but when Juliet sees her—dark glossy hair, the casually expensive jeans, carefully manicured nails—she knows instantly who it is. But will Gracie Dwyer even remember her? Gracie has it all: the handsome husband, the adorable child, the beautiful, glass-fronted home overlooking the river. The life that should have been Juliet’s too. Instead, she’s a single mother struggling to make ends meet, living in a shabby apartment in a concrete block with her five-year-old daughter, who her ex-husband is threatening to take away. But when Gracie moves to Falcon Square, just streets away, Juliet sees an opportunity. If she can just get close to Gracie, maybe her fortunes will begin to change. And if cracks begin to appear in Gracie’s perfect life, well, it’s Juliet who will be there to pick up the pieces. Because no one’s life is really that perfect—and sometimes all it takes is a little push to expose the darkest of secrets… A gripping psychological thriller with a mind-blowing twist, fans of The Wife Between Us, My Lovely Wife and Gone Girl will be utterly addicted to this twisted story of obsession, secrets and lies.
