My dearest sweet pea,
If you're reading this, the bakery is yours now. I know it looks a fright: dust on the counters, the oven gone cold. But this little shop fed Willowmere for forty years, and I believe it can again.
Start small. Two humble things put together make something better. That's the only recipe that ever mattered.
All my love (and flour),
Grandma Rosie
P.S. Mr. Pemberton will grumble. Feed him.
