It's midnight and Hana is sobbing on a Tokyo street.

She's in her twenties, just finished college, and she's put everything aside for a romantic new life in Japan with her boyfriend - but he isn't there. He's gone traveling on his own, leaving Hana heartbroken, bewildered and ready to pursue her own path too.

But where does that path lead?

By chance, Hana takes a job helping a grumpy old lady run a rundown fruit and vegetable store, and rediscovers her love for baking lush fruits into mouth-watering cakes. Then she meets handsome young fruit farmer, Hikaru, and glimpses a new forward.

But first Hana must learn to let go of the past, before she can embrace the future...

An uplifting, heart-warming, often-hilarious story about love, cakes, friendship and new beginnings, from an author who lived in Tokyo for ten years.
