PRAISE FOR JENNIFER MOORMAN'S BOOKS:
"The Baker's Man is a charming recipe of magic, romance, friendship, and the importance of staying true to yourself." —Heather Webber, USA TODAY bestselling author of Midnight at the Blackbird Café
"Combine four parts love, two parts excitement, a dash of humor, and a pinch of magic and you have Jennifer Moorman's delightful The Baker's Man. Moorman's sweet, heartfelt confection will please anyone looking for a charming, witty, utterly delectable read!"—Lauren K. Denton, USA TODAY bestselling author of The Hideaway and A Place to Land
“In the world of magical realism, Jennifer Moorman is an important new voice. She is a sensitive, engaging, quirky, and soulful storyteller. Her characters speak their truths only to inspire us, the reader, to embrace and respect our own true gifts. As a lifelong fan of Alice Hoffman, I am adding Jennifer to a short list of writers who can carry the torch forward to a new generation.”—Jane Ubell-Meyer, founder of Bedside Reading
“A sweet, magical coming-of-age tale about the best and hardest parts of love and friendship and family.” —Amy Impellizzeri, award-winning author of Lemongrass Hope and I Know How This Ends
"Like a charming Hallmark movie with a dash of magic and a little mayhem, readers will instantly fall in love. Enchanting and magical, Jennifer Moorman charms her readers with a strong storyline that intertwines magic, romance, and more sugar than a cup of sweet tea on a warm summer night. With all the sweetness of romance, with a helping of extra, dark chocolate to keep things intense, readers will devour this enticing read like a slice of Anna's Dark Chocolate Oreo Tart."—Amy Shane, Dixon's Independent Voice

ABOUT THE MAGIC ALL AROUND:
The Russell family members all seem to have–gifts.
Eldest sister Penelope naturally infuses strength or joy or love into the fabric of the dresses she designs as a seamstress.
Her younger sister, Lilith, is never without whatever she needs—there’s always a person nearby who just happens to have an apartment available to rent, or a part-time job open, or a car to borrow just when they need it.
And Lilith’s adult daughter, Mattie, always seems to trigger the perfect song to mysteriously start playing.
And at the heart of the family is their old Victorian home that sometimes seems to have a personality in and of itself.
When independent, artistic Mattie Russell finds herself back in the family home after her mother’s unexpected death, she has no intention of sticking around the small town.
But during the reading of the will, the family is shocked to learn Lilith included a testamentary trust that requires Mattie to stay in Ivy Ridge long enough to complete a series of seemingly absurd tasks in order to claim her inheritance.
While completing the tasks, Mattie discovers that her mother had a well-thought-out plan for her daughter that would lead Mattie to finding her birth father, learn to keep her heart open for love, and discover that staying still long enough to sow seeds can produce a stunning garden and vibrant life.
