Sweet Expectations

Union Street Bakery, Book 2

By: Mary Ellen Taylor

Narrated by: Moniqua Plante

From the bestselling author of The Brighter the Light comes a heartwarming story of past and present, where one woman finds a connection to history that could give her a whole new beginning.

Daisy McCrae is picking up the pieces of her life in the hope of making something better. Running the family bakery, finally connecting with her sisters, rebuilding her relationship with her ex-boyfriend…It’s messy work, and yet she’s happy to manage it.

But Daisy knows too well how much life can turn on a dime—and she’s about to learn that lesson all over again.

With the bakery renovations going haywire and her personal life hanging by a thread, Daisy isn’t sure how to move forward. That is, until an old box of World War II mementos and recipes turns up behind a wall of the bakery.

As she digs into the collection and its history, Daisy unearths a mystery that reflects the questions in her own life. And if she can unravel what happened all those years ago, maybe she can find where she’s meant to be too.

Revised edition: This edition of Sweet Expectations includes editorial revisions.

Repeatitive

Overall I liked the story line to find missing persons.
But the repetitive segments of prior Union Street Bakery book became annoying.
Perhaps this would have flowed much better had the book had pre chapter that outlined the living characters and their connections.

Union Street Bakery II

Had hoped for a continuation of the first book. Instead it was the same story told again. What a HUGE disappointment. To think I wasted my money on this book. It started and ended in the same place with the same scenes told again. I had loved Union Street Bakery. Now I never want to read another book by that author again. What was she thinking?
