About Bittersweet Honey<\/mark><\/h2>\n

Newly divorced bakery owner Celeste just can’t seem to move forward with her overbearing ex-husband, Anthony, breathing down her neck. With her bakery on the brink of failure and her daughters needing her more than ever, Celeste is one problem away from a breakdown. Naturally, that’s when her childhood best friend\/former lover, Rashad, returns after four long years of heartbreaking silence.

In a small Georgia town that locals swear is blessed with the fall season’s \u201cmagic,\u201d Celeste, with the help of her friends Nikki and Vera, learns what it really means to fight for her dreams, break intergenerational curses, and find love and joy without losing herself along the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we’re just supposed to act like the way someone treats you is irrelevant to a relationship?\u201d<\/h2>\n\n

From the way her mama looked at her, Celeste knew the answer was yes. But this couldn’t be it, the way she was expected to live her life, right?<\/p>\n\n

He hadn’t asked the question yet, but it was coming, she knew it. And the answer was much too complicated, too messy to explain out here in front of the bakery, in front of her children.<\/p>\n\n
