The Story

Sometimes the things that trip us up are guiding us home.

Emma Harper’s life is a beautiful mess of flour-dusted countertops, mischievous twin children, and shoelaces that come undone. As a single mother running The Crumble Corner bakery, she’s mastered the art of getting back up—literally—after every stumble.

But when wise Mrs. Jenkins, the neighborhood’s knowing matchmaker, starts dropping hints about not resisting life’s unexpected gifts, Emma begins to wonder: are her constant falls just clumsiness, or is the universe interrupting her carefully controlled world for a reason?

Between her seven-year-old detectives conducting “Operation Sourdough” to solve the mystery of Mom’s untied laces and a community that rallies around her chaos, Emma starts to see a pattern. Sometimes the things that trip us up are actually guiding us toward something—or someone—we’ve been too afraid to reach for.

A heartwarming romance about second chances, and learning that the best love stories begin when you stop resisting and start falling.

From Readers

Juna Hart has a gift for writing characters that feel like real people. Emma’s journey from guarded independence to brave vulnerability had me laughing, crying, and cheering. The shoelace metaphor is brilliant.
Sarah M.—A beautiful, heartwarming read

The perfect cozy romance

A sweet, clean romance with depth. The bakery setting is delicious, the twins are adorable chaos, and the romance builds naturally.
Jennifer K.

Couldn’t put it down

Read this in one sitting! The writing is gorgeous and the emotional payoff is so satisfying. Mrs. Jenkins is the matchmaker we all need.
