The Baker's Apprentice: A Novel

A divorcée's fresh start as a baker in Seattle comes with a side of new challenges in this sequel to the absorbing debut novel, Bread Alone.

Having found her calling, Wynter Morrison is blissful about her new career in Seattle as a baker—cherishing the long days spent making bread and the comforting rhythms of the Queen Street Bakery. Still, she struggles with the legacy of her failed marriage and with her new boyfriend Mac's reluctance to share his mysterious past. When Mac abruptly leaves Seattle, Wyn again feels abandoned and betrayed, at least until intimate letters arrive in which Mac at last reveals his deepest secrets. But the more she learns about her absent lover, the more Wyn discovers about herself—and when tragedy threatens, she will have to decide if there is a place for Mac in this new life she has made.

Highly recommended for both romance and women's fiction fans." —Booklist
