32 parts Complete The fights are escalating.
Gemma is a quiet girl -she keeps to herself out of fear of being judged for her mixed race, freckled skin and wild hair.
She keeps to herself because she fears a relationship like her parents' -where the conversations are too loud and her every flaw and decision is criticized, but, in truth, Gemma wants friends -people to share her laughter and art with and more than that Gemma wants to share her love. She wants a love like what her Grandmother had before escaping to the USA.
When Gemma is befriended by Spencer, Eve and Abel she's unsure it's the best decision, but they've promised to help her find a way to help her folks, so it's worth a shot.
Except, instead of trying to help her folks Gemma starts falling for Spencer. How could she be so selfish?
Is it though? Is it selfish of Gemma to secure her own happiness even when her parents' marriage seems to be crumbling apart?
Gemma must learn to face her life head-on if she is going to successfully bake Crown Jewel Muffins, cope with 12 new freckles, survive heatstroke inducing smiles and save her family from disaster.
