Description
Patty Jenkins has come a long way from her poverty-stricken days in Brownlow workhouse. Now, she enjoys a coveted position in the kitchens at Freeman's Department store in Liverpool, with the prospect of advancement and a chance to showcase her baking skills.
Her flair for creating elaborate cakes and pastries has caught the attention of the store owner, who intends to have her create treats to serve at afternoon tea to Freeman's clientele. However, Patty's experiences in the workhouse have left her with a lingering sense of vulnerability, making it difficult for her to fully let go of her past.
As she navigates this new chapter in her life, Patty must confront the challenges of her past and learn to trust herself once again.
