Meg just wants to keep her family together.

Her mother is desperately ill and her sister is still in school so it is up to her to support them.

All Meg knows to do is bake and desperation leads her to Ted Lund, the miserly owner of a local bakery. In a moment of uncharacteristic kindness, he takes pity on Meg and offers her a job.

But Ted’s charity ends there. He’ll save money at any costs, cutting corners by using sawdust in his bread, ignoring vermin in his flour, and paying Meg a pittance.

But despite her mistreatment, Meg can see what the bakery might yet be. Using her baking skills, can she turn the shop around?
