The Baker of Lost Memories by Shirley Russak Wachtel

4.0

---

Lena just wants to be a baker like her mother was in Poland before World War II. But really, she wants to make her mother love her, like her sister who disappeared. Lena goes to college and gets married. Her husband ends up buying her a bakery and they become part of the community where many stop for cookies and cakes. Lena’s life is not what she pictured it, even if she is baking.

 

The Baker of Lost Memories is a nice historical novel of love, and memories, and community. Also how we comfort ourselves when life doesn’t look like we want it to.
