About this listen
As the Ferraros settle into life in New Jersey, they slowly begin to rebuild what they lost. Their tiny apartment fills with the familiar scent of vanilla and cinnamon as Tracy becomes a local school favorite and her parents find creative ways to use their magical talents in human jobs. But the dream of reopening a family bakery never fades.
A chance encounter at a farmer’s market with the stylish and mysterious Beatrice Vanderwood changes everything. After tasting one of Tracy’s cookies, Beatrice recognizes their hidden magic and offers the family an opportunity: the keys to a vacant shop on Maple Street. It’s risky. It’s bold. But it might just be the chance they’ve been waiting for.
With nervous excitement, the Ferraros say yes—and dive into transforming the old bookstore into a bakery that blends whimsy with warmth. As blueprints are sketched and recipes are tested, Tracy imagines a place where magic still lives… just a little more quietly. Rebuilding the dream means more than frosting cupcakes—it’s about sharing joy, honoring heritage, and creating something new out of what was nearly lost.
