About the book
To save her husband and son, Audrey Bofinger must rescue her enemy.
The Bofinger family has lost their church ministry in a scandal exposed by Officer Jack Mansfield.
Hoping to heal and to restore their reputation, Audrey, Geoff, and
their son Ed take over a failing bakery in the small community.
Driving to the
bakery one morning, blinded by fog, Audrey hits a motor scooter owned by
Jack’s wife, Julie. The mangled scooter is crushed and bloody. But
Julie is nowhere to be found. Her disappearance coincides with a sudden
illness that nearly cripples Audrey.
Jack believes the
Bofingers have hurt Julie to take revenge on him, but the evidence dries
up and her trail goes cold. At a breaking point, Jack takes the tiny
bakery and its patrons hostage, issuing only one demand: Audrey has six
hours to return Julie to him, or lose Geoff and Ed forever.
With only an
excruciating and intuitive gift, an ex-con, and Julie’s estranged
daughter to help search for clues, Audrey starts the search of her life
for a woman who has vanished like the fog.
My thoughts
This book did a great job of weaving together a bunch of seemingly unrelated lives. It also showed just how much lives can change over time and how people can be misjudged based simply on a title in their life, such as convict or police officer. The Baker's Wife was a great read, full of suspense, with an underlying storylines of learning how to forgive oneself and others and how to be resilient when faced with things out of your control. I had a difficult time putting the book down each night and recommend this to anyone who enjoys books about people changing, resilience, or suspense.
