All You Knead is Love

 









Alba is used to being overlooked and undervalued.  When her mom sends her off to Spain to live with her grandmother she is upset but not really surprised.  Her mother always does what her father wants - and even then he still hits her.

Alba doesn't expect to like Spain at all but she soon meets Toni, an old friend of her mothers, and starts to help him in his bakery.  Alba feels like she has finally found something she loves.  But then her mother shows up - she finally left Alba's dad but now Alba isn't sure what the future will look like.  And when Toni decides to close his bakery Alba doesn't know where she fits in at all.

Can Alba navigate her new life in Spain and find a way to keep baking in it?
