Bread Alone

Wyn Morrison has drifted into the role of trophy wife, largely to please her husband David, whom she loves. But what does a trophy wife do when, suddenly and rudely, she is told that her services are no longer required?

Wyn, desperately unhappy and with no marketable skills other than a stint as a student baker in France, moves from California to rainy Seattle where her best friend lives. There she gets a job baking bread on the night shift. At first she simply goes through the motions of her strange existence - clocking into the bakery at 11.30pm, working all night, sleeping away the day, trying to dull her heartache. But as Wyn finds her calling as a baker, so she rediscovers that nothing stays the same: bread rises, pain fades and the future beckons . . .

'Bread Alone' is a life-enhancing debut, full of humour as well as sensitivity, and guaranteed to win - and warm - your heart.
