"When entrepreneurial Floyd Stitt opens a bakery in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania at the start of World War I, his timing is perfect. Barely emancipated women eagerly buy his delicious bread, cakes and pies and Stitt's Bakery flourishes. Growing up surrounded by flour and sugar, Stitt's three attractive daughters have the bakery in their blood. Artistic Dot, enigmatic Louise and problem-solving Elaine come of age in the Great Depression and send the men they love to war while they continue baking and selling bread on the home front. With meticulous attention to historical detail, "The Bakery Girls" chronicles three memorable decades from the perspective of three remarkable sisters who understand the big difference a little sugar can make in good times and bad. Should appeal to bakery afficionados, historical fiction fans and residents of the central Pennsylvania local.
