Stella Peabody's Wild Librarian Bakery and Bookstore: A Novel-in-Stories

Welcome to the magical world of Stella Peabody's Wild Librarian Bakery and Bookstore!

 

Stella Peabody, an independent and free-spirited "Wild Librarian," follows her dream and opens a vegan bakery/bookstore where she and her literary-inspired baked goods form the heart of a diverse community full of beloved characters, including Robert Gonzales, a romance novel devotee and loving husband, who finds solace in Stella's "Poet's Beer Bread" when his wife goes missing under mysterious circumstances; solitary psychologist Mary Chin who leans upon her experiences with Stella's "Women Who Run With the Wolves" Book Club to find comfort and meaning following a life-changing breast cancer diagnosis; and Rita Johansen, a lusty rare book cataloger, who is ready to find her fifth husband when she walks into the Wild Librarian one day.

 

Recipes are included in this novel-in-stories where familiar recurring characters' lives interconnect to shape a heartwarming tale of one woman's extraordinary dream being realized-and, subsequently, the creation of a community built on friendship, belonging, and a mutual love of great books and delicious baked goods.
