During wartime Leo and his mother suddenly have to flee their home. Using Mother’s miraculous sourdough starter, they bake new loaves of bread whenever they get the chance. A loaf of bread baked with love, and shared with joy, saves many people and warms hearts—even years later.
When Leo and his mother have to escape their home, their baking is abruptly halted. Before leaving, they manage to grab some warm loaves of bread, a kneading bowl, and a jar of the family’s miraculous sourdough starter.
Whenever she gets a chance, Mother bakes more bread. Along the way, she shares it with friends and strangers.
A loaf of bread baked with love, and shared with joy, saves many people and warms hearts—even years later.
