Life can turn on a dime. Itâ€™s a common clichÃ©, and Iâ€™d heard it often enough. People die or move away. Investments go south. Affairs end. Loved ones betray us...Stuff happens.,Daisy McCraeâ€™s life is in tatters. Sheâ€™s lost her job, broken up with her boyfriend, and has been reduced to living in the attic above her familyâ€™s store, ,The Union Street Bakery,, while learning the business. Unfortunately, the bakery is in serious hardship. Making things worse is the constant feeling of not being a â€œrealâ€ 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 bequeaths Daisy a journal dating back to the 1850s, written by a slave girl named Susie. As she reads, Daisy learns more about her familyâ€”and her own heritageâ€”than she ever dreamed. Haunted by dreams of the young Susie, who beckons Daisy to â€œfind her,â€ she is compelled to look further into the past of the town and her family.,What she finds are the answers she has longed for her entire life, and a chance to begin again with the courage and desire she thought she lost for good.
