Hetty's Farmhouse Bakery

Book excerpt: "Thirty-two-year-old Hetty Greengrass is a farmer's wife and generally content with her lot: marriage, motherhood and helping Dan run Sunnybank Farm have kept her on her toes for the last twelve years. But when, one parent's evening, her daughter Poppy is asked who in her life inspires her, it is painfully apparent that Hetty doesn't. Hetty sometimes regrets that she has never pushed herself to achieve more. Her biggest talent - baking deliciously moreish shortcrust pastry pies - has been limited to charity work and the village fete. But taking part in a competition run by Cumbria's Finest to find the very best produce from the region might be just the thing to make her daughter proud. Except that life isn't as simple as producing the perfect pie. Changing the status quo isn't easy - and with cracks appearing in her marriage and shocking secrets coming to light, Hetty must decide where her priorities really lie..."--Publisher's description.
