Resumen del Editor

Hansel and Gretel Sweetser live a happy life, except for that unfortunate time of incarceration and near-ingestion in the witch’s gingerbread house. But that was twenty years ago, and no one believes them anyway. Now they run the successful H & G Bakery. Life is sweet for the Sweetser brother and sister, until Hansel gets ensnared and engaged to Sandra. It’s not that Gretel has anything against her future sister-in-law, except that she burns everything she bakes, she hates Gretel, and she’s got Hansel wrapped around her little finger. Once they’re married, will history repeat itself? Will they try to get rid of Gretel à la her evil stepmother? Lumberjack Jake Wilde comes to f Wish Hill to heal from a logging injury. He’s partial to the sweets at the bakery, Gretel Sweetser in particular. But the betrayal of her woodcutter father scarred little Gretel’s heart and she refuses any man who calls the forest home. Believing she’s safe, as long as she stays in town, is Gretel’s first mistake. When Hansel cuts the apron strings, she must find her own way home. Can she survive the journey through the forests of her past to embrace a bright future? If you’ve ever wondered what happened to that little boy and girl after the gingerbread house encounter, here’s what you’ve been missing. Birds and Bread Crumbs is the “rest of the story”—a grown-up Midwestern American fairy tale with just enough magic to make you believe in once-upon-a-time and happily-ever-after again.
