A Daisy in Lily’s Valley

Imagine if The Great British Bake Off, The Devil Wears Prada, and Kiki’s Delivery Service converged together to create one story. This would be it.

Shy but optimistic Emiliana loves two things above all else: baking and her hometown of Lily’s Valley. Despite an early Coeliac diagnosis, Emiliana has made great strides in redefining her relationship with baking, creatively reinventing traditional recipes to break the limitations of her disease. Emiliana dreams of continuing her family’s legacy at LV Baked Goods, LLC.

But working under the watchful – and sometimes oppressive – eye of her domineering mother, Geraldine, leaves Emiliana little room to grow as a baker or even as a person. Geraldine finds fault with nearly everything about Emiliana, from her sensitive personality to the muted colours she prefers. And she certainly hasn’t been open to expanding the LV Baked Goods line. That is until Geraldine announces a baking contest within the company that will help name her second in command. Emiliana sees an opportunity to win her mother’s approval and forge a bond with her – even if it means changing everything about who she is until she can’t recognize herself anymore.

With the help of her long-time friend Leandra and the mysterious stranger across the hall known only as A, Emiliana may just begin to reimagine what the meaning of family is, what it is she wants from life, and whom she most wishes to become.
