The year is 1950, and seventeen-year-old Lucy Hargrove is pregnant. The baby's father has vanished, and her heart-broken parents have noticed a coolness towards them at church. In order to spare her family the shame she feels she alone should bear, Lucy packs her bag and boards a train. She arrives in Oregon City alone, exhausted, and hungry, with no plan as to how she will survive. It had taken all her courage to leave her family's homestead in Weiser, Idaho, and her beloved brother, Baxter. Lucy's first stop in Oregon City is Gettman's Bakery. The owner, Hettie, is a big-hearted, outspoken woman who takes Lucy under her wing and offers her a job. In her new hometown, Lucy encounters small-town gossips and a difficult babysitter, but over the next few months she makes friends, faces heart-rending decisions, and becomes an adult.
