Al and Kitty Tait are a father and daughter duo who run the Orange Bakery together and Breadsong is a, wonderful emotional book that tells their story with a focus on Kitty's anxiety and how the process of making bread - and other delicious baked goods, helped the then 14-year-old Kitty reconnect with those around her and discover her passion.

Bread.

Breadsong takes the reader along with Kitty from her initial curiosity over watching Al making a loaf at home to the two working together making delicious baked goods for friends and family to the opening of their bakery and it's an emotional journey for anyone who knows how lost you can feel when the internal voices outweigh those around you.

I truly believe that a methodical way of creating something in be so beneficial to quieten anxiety and often the depression that coexists with it. Kitty's journey will both inspire and cause tears to fall. She is someone to admire as are her parents for their perseverance and strength...

Kitty and Al's perspectives of the journey both of the mental one to recovery and the ups and downs are honest and often highlight the realities they face. Nothing is sugar-coated and it's an excellent story.

They're also kind enough to provide the reader with many recipes to try and I need to casually slide this towards my home baker; my husband, to see if there's any he wants to make.

Kitty and Al deserve all the success in the world and are an inspiration to anyone who is struggling to find that one thing that can help them feel less isolated.
