Sixteen-year-old Victoria Framington lives in the small village of Kendal in the Lake District. She and her younger sister, Mary, work in the family bakery alongside their widowed father. Mary has inherited the family genius for baking and improved upon it so much that Mr. Framington is confident that his culinary legacy will live on in her.
Victoria, on the other hand, is the complete opposite of Mary. While Mary is creative, reliable, and responsible Victoria is flighty and chafes under the weight of responsibility.

But as they find out from the assembly not all that glitters is gold, read on to find out if Victoria and Mary will find happiness or heartache in this first book of the series!
