How to Bake a Perfect Life/Barbara O'Neal/390 pages

Ramona Gallagher owns a struggling bakery or boulangerie. Her daughter, Sophia, has just received word that her soldier husband has been wounded and she needs to go to Germany ASAP. Her husband's ex-wife has been sent to rehab again, so his daughter needs to stay with Sophia, but she has to leave before Katie can get to Colorado Springs. Katie stays with Ramona while Sophia waits for her husband to wake up from his traumatic injuries.

This is a story of the relationships between many generations of women in the Gallagher family starting with Adelaide (Ramona's deceased grandmother) and going down to Katie. There are men in the story but for the most part they play a secondary role. O'Neal includes many bread recipes, so if you a baker, you get a bonus.
