Perfect for fans of Sharna Jackson and Maisie Chan, this coming of age story combines captivating writing with unforgettable characters. From the author of the critically-acclaimed Running My Own Race.





A stunning contemporary coming of age story, with a father/daughter relationship at its heart, exploring themes of sudden change, community and what it means to be fulfilled.





When Sedna's dad moves them to a flat above a small-town bakery in a new town, she can hardly believe it. He's following his dream, but what about hers?





As Sedna tries to settle in to her new life, she discovers how rewarding living in a multi-cultural community can be. And when Sedna encourages Dad to cook the food of his heart and heritage – rather than expensive patisserie – the bakery starts to do well.





But will Sedna be able to share with Dad what's in her heart? Is she ready to trust him again?
