All I can say is Wow!! What a story!!
This story hit home so hard for me. I related to Daisy more than anyone knows.
I've felt that her story was my story in more ways than one.
I've felt her thoughts, feelings and even her emotions too. Goodness!
I couldn't put this book down. The historical details that were brought in was fascinating. They are what kept me turning the pages.
I loved Daisy's siblings so much. I felt like they were mine too. Wow!
I really admired Daisy's mom. Adopted mom not her real mom. I hated her real mom.
This is a powerful reminder that family isn't always blood related. To me, it who takes the time to love, nurture and raise you. That's true love. I should know. I was adopted too. I too have finally come to accept it as it's meant to be.
I loved loved this story so much that I hated to see it end. I really recommend this beautiful story of sacrificed love. Cause that's what it is.
5 stars force an amazing adventure that made me feel so many emotions with Daisy's and her family.
My thank for a wonderful story that I'll not stop thinking about bc it resonated with me deeply. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

Having been through the wars with recent life events, Daisy McCrae reluctantly finds herself in a situation where she is stuck trying to save the family bakery business, (which was not part of her plans!) and figure what to do with herself.

But sometimes, life's most unexpected twists can yield the best results, and Daisy is about to find out the situation is not really nearly as bad as she thought...

A delicious story about second chances, family dynamics, and unexpected career choices, this is a charming story that gets 3.5 stars.

I don't recall reading anything by Taylor in the past, so this was a fresh beginning into her work. I liked the concept of the self-discovery storyline. It is well-executed. The book left me feeling hopeful. Great characters and family relationships throughout. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

The first in a series that takes place just moments from my house in Old Town Alexandria, VA in a small family owned bakery that has been in existence for generations. The youngest McCrae returns to Alexandria as she lost her job in DC and needs a place to retreat to to put her pieces back together. She is adopted and doesn't always feel a part of the clan, but retreating to help put the bakery together really brings her into the fold.

First, I am biased because this book takes place in one of my favorite places - Old Town and I could picture each and every moment of this book and it made me fall in love with it. I also loved the family, the three daughters - two biological and one adopted and how this affects each in the family and where they feel they fit in the equation.
