Running away from her abusive and troubled past, Rosa Moore ends up in Ashwick Wharf with nothing but the clothes on her back, her backpack and a calico cat she found just outside of town. She ends up working at the local bakery, Bluebell's, where she meets the good looking baker who doubles as an artist, his persistent best friend who's determined to help Rosa whether she likes it or not, the owner of the bakery who has a troubled past of her own, as well as a troubled present, and the regular customer who seem's to know everyone and everything.
With everyone in town determined to either help her or expose her, a boy Rosa is sure is determined to screw everything up for, an absentee father showing up, a mysterious trio and their almost equally mysterious employee's, holiday festivals and a very rude neighbor, Ashwick Wharf might have been just the wrong place for Rosa to come to, or it might have been just the right place for her to live.
