Friendship Bread by Darien Gee

Friendship Bread is an uplifting book set in the fictitious town of Avalon, Illinois. Julie Evarts is in mourning for her young son Josh, who died under the care of her sister Livvy. The two sisters were estranged until a bag of Amish Bread starter and a baked loaf were left on Julia's front porch. Who started this unstoppable baking-chain?
Darien Gee introduces her readers to a group of interesting people, including a famed cellist Hannah de Brisay, a career-driven journalist Edie, an energetic laundromat attendant Connie Coll and a wise tea salon owner Madeline Davis. The novel celebrates community, friendship and overcoming the past. It also includes many bread recipes and website information.
