A young mother orders a six-strand braided loaf for her daughter's christening, just like the one Walter made for her own, thirty-one years ago. The trouble is that June has never braided six strands, and on the first truly cold night of the year, Walter's hands are slow. So he talks, she braids, and they practice on dish towels first. The Night Bakery is an original, gentle story series. Each episode is one quiet night shift at a small-town bakery on Ashgrove Road, from the lights coming on to the blinds going up at seven.
