Her one consolation is continuing her grandmother's legacy by running Bea's Bakery. When Anna's long-term boyfriend decides to move across the country without her, she is forced to face an uncertain future.

Reichert, author of Once Upon a December In the Southern town of Mystic Water, magic is always in the wind—and in the ovens Anna O’Brien inherited several gifts from her late Grandma Bea: culinary superpowers, a bakery in a charming Southern town, and a mysterious box with a note: Open the box only when you need to.

The night her presumed fiancé crushes her dreams, Anna opens the box and finds “magic sugar” inside, along with a recipe to bake “the perfect man.” Encouraged by her best friend Lily (and maybe a wee bit too much rum), a heartbroken Anna sets out to do what she always does when she’s feeling blue: bake.

Escape into this whimsical and enchanting tale of magical realism and the spellbinding power of following your dreams as Anna discovers the sweetest side of life.
