She thought her life was over; it was just beginning and was magical.

Just as newly single, forty-year-old Cassie Berry is trying to figure out how she's supposed to care for her pre-teen daughter on her own with no marketable skills or job experience, she gets word that she's inherited a charming bakery in a small New England beach town from a great aunt she didn't know. Everything points to the fresh start they desperately need, but Cassie knows better than to assume everything is going to work out just because it's what she wants.

But Portney isn’t an ordinary town, and as Cassie soon realizes when her pastries start having unexpected side effects, the bakery is hardly an ordinary bakery. Or, rather, she's not an ordinary baker.

As Cassie wrestles with being a kitchen witch with powers she's not sure she wants, the quirky local witches assure her that the town has been waiting for her. But Cassie is certain they’ve made a mistake, and that any day now, they’ll realize she’s not the right person to inherit this magical legacy.

If you were ever wondering if it was too late to start over, this enchanting FriendshipCore tale of witches, surprise magic, found family, and fresh starts is proof that it isn't. Dive into a heartwarming, feel-good story that will leave you feeling like you just had coffee with your besties.
