There’a story behind every pastry. That’s what freelance writer Reba discovers when she visits Elsie’s German Bakery. In The Baker’s Daughter by Sarah McCoy, Reba discovers Elsie’s life before she immigrated to the United States. Elsie was a young German struggling to survive at the end of World War II. Over coffee and handmade baked goods, Reba finds answers she didn’t even know she was looking for.
