Do you like watching cooking competitions like the British Baking shows? If you do, then you will have fun reading the uplifting story of Mrs. Quinn (Jenny) and her baking. You are never too old to pursue your dreams and Jenny learns this lesson by secretly entering a baking contest.

Jenny meets a bunch of talented bakers and grows in her confidence both as a baker and as someone worthy of friendships. The journey becomes more important than the goal of winning and many of Jenny’s relationships, particularly with her husband, improve as Jenny tests her ability to change.

Old fashioned recipes are handed down with stories and strong friendships grow. I came across this quote about Jenny that I believe sums up this read. “Jenny has shown that our dreams have a place at every stage of our journey . . . that they can be achieved because of our age, and not in spite of it.”
