The Baker's Apprentice

Advance Reading Copy. 8vo. Pp. [x], 372, [1]. Pictorial wraps.

The sequel to her debut novel, Bread Alone (2001). Having found her calling, Wynter Morrison is blissful about her new career as a baker in Seattle – until her new boyfriend Mac absconds to Alaska battling writer's block.

Critics have noted the author's unerring tendency to focus on characters forced to remake their lives. In an interview in The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Hendricks remarked: "I believe we all reinvent ourselves, and everything we do in life brings us right to where we need to be." Includes delicious recipes (such as for Capuccino Hazelnut Scones). "[An] engaging sequel... a fulfilling and happy reading experience." –Booklist
