On the night of her eighteenth birthday, she dreams of a future that feels too real to ignore.

In the dream, her stepmother smiles while arranging a marriage meant to sell her freedom for money. When she wakes, fear follows her into daylight—and subtle signs begin to confirm that the dream was not a warning without reason.

Almost at the same time, her biological mother suddenly disappears, leaving behind no explanation, no farewell, and no trace. The coincidence is impossible to ignore.

Realizing she is no longer safe, she quietly plans her escape. She leaves behind a fractured family, a father who cannot see the danger closing in, and a house that has never truly been home.

Her flight leads her to a distant city in search of her missing mother. With no one to rely on but herself, she begins rebuilding her life through a small bakery—unaware that it will pull her into a network of stolen lives, hidden crimes, and truths meant to stay buried.

A Bakery Called Home is a story of foresight and fear, of disappearance and survival, and of how believing in a single dream can be the first step toward reclaiming a life that was almost taken away.
