Tuesday IT & TT

FFT is hosted by Diane of Bibliophile By the Sea where we share the opening paragraph of our current read to see if others would read the book based on that first paragraph.  Please feel free to join in, First Chapter~First Paragraph~Tuesday Intros.


An unforgettable novel that celebrates food, family, and the unbreakable bonds between mothers and daughters.

"When the phone call that we have been dreading comes, my daughter and I are gathered around the center island of my bakery kitchen.  Sofia is leafing through a magazine, the slippery pages floating down languidly, one after the next.

I am experimenting with a new sourdough starter in an attempt to reproduce a black bread I tasted at a bakery in Denver a couple of weeks ago.  This is not my own, treasured starter, handed down from my grandmother Adelaide's line and known to be more than a hundred years old."

In a story as warm and embracing as a family kitchen, Barbara O’Neal explores the poignant, sometimes complex relationship between mothers and daughters—and the healing magic of homemade bread.
