Sunya owns Pastries, a bakery in Seattle where she creates delicious works of art. Her world crumbles when a chain bakery threatens to open near her, her boyfriend leaves her, and her mother gets engaged to a horrible man. All of this pales in comparison to the fact that she has lost her touch for baking. A baking school in Japan that connects people to their spiritual selves just might be what she needs to rediscover herself and recapture her zest for life. No library descriptions found. |

Through all this, Sunya's character is honest and believable. She isn't above ratting out her competition to the food inspector (pun totally intended). She harbors enormous jealousy for the woman who stole her boyfriend (as mentioned before, someone she used to call her friend). She definitely has relationship issues thanks to the mystery of her father leaving her. Even sexy movie director Andrew has trouble convincing Sunya he is interested in more than just her chocolate cake. ( )
