Product Description
The life of 31-year-old trophy wife Wynter Morrison suddenly changes course when her husband announces one evening that their marriage is over. Emotionally devastated and desperate for a change of scenery, Wyn moves to Seattle where she spends aimless hours at a local bakery, sipping coffee and inhaling the sweet aromas of freshly-made bread. These visits bring back memories of her long-ago apprenticeship at a French boulangerie, and when offered a position at the bakery, Wyn quickly accepts -- hoping that the rituals of baking will help her move on. Working long hours among the bakery's cluster of eclectic women -- Linda, the irascible bread baker; earth mother Ellen and her partner Diane; and Tyler, the blue-haired barista -- Wyn awakens to the truths that she missed while living the good life in Hancock Park. Soon Wyn discovers that making bread possesses an unexpected and wondrous healing power, helping her to rediscover that nothing stays the same... bread rises, pain fades, the heart heals, and the future beckons.

 You bring the whine, I'll bring the cheese!, 2008-09-14
It's cheesy! It's predictable~It's a lot of whine about bread. Although I can appreciate Wyn's passion for making bread, that's the best part and the best I can say about the book.

 FUNNY, COZY READING YOU CAN IDENTIFY WITH AND COOK WITH, 2007-11-29
One of the easiest read and most enjoyable books I have experienced in a long time. It's entertaining, funny, and educatioanl to boot! This novel tells the tale of a plucky, young woman starting over as a dumped divorcee, who moves to Seattle from LA, to work as a baker. She has a passion for baking bread, which she learned as an exchange student in France, before marrying.
Full of human interest and drama we all can identify with in one or another, this book is also loaded with some delectable recipes. Kind of makes you want to head for the kitchen and pull out those loaf pans!! Share the love...

Bread Alone, 2007-07-03
I loved this book. I loved the story ,the characters, the location and the recipes.... even tried a couple. This book I shared with friends and family. This book remains on my shelf for future rereading and of course, using it as a cookbook.

Some Glimpses of Seattle; Weak Story, 2007-01-17
I bought this as I am a Seattle resident (also 20s/30s female like the main character). I thought it would be cool to find a book that combined the story of a woman's growth and a setting in Seattle.
Unfortunately, it's not a strong story. The main character is shallow and self-absorbed, and the other characters aren't compelling- and this doesn't change over the course of the story. The story revolves around the character's relationships to men and a couple of female characters (mainly her mother and her best friend)- not compelling alternative Seattle characters. I really don't feel that this is a compelling story of human growth or broadening horizons.

This book is a great woman's book, 2007-01-06
It is a book of many situations. It is a book that I didn't want to put down. It had situations that many women today are facing, the problems that can arise in marriage, childhood, and finally the solution one woman chose.
This writer keeps you wanting to turn more pages. I won't reveal any of the characters or the plot, but I would like to re-read it, it is that kind of a book.
