To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
The Morning the Bread Did Not Rise — Greta's father set the dough to rise before he went to bed, as he does every night in high season. This morning the dough sits flat and gray and final — not becoming bread. Her father is still asleep. The abbey's order is due at first light. The journeyman knows the craft but not her father's particular method with the starter. Greta is fourteen and has been watching these hands for years.
