NOTES

Fearing she would be left on the shelf, Joanna is swept off her feet by a handsome Italian supporting the Air Force in her country town, leading to a whirlwind marriage. After following him overseas, they eventually settle in inner Melbourne. A chance encounter with a local French baker, who delivers to her house, stirs her inner emotions. She begins to question her commitment to her husband, as something about the baker continues to haunt her, even after moving with her family to the outskirts of Melbourne. Suspicions about her husband's fidelity arise as Joanna grapples with snippets of evidence suggesting a relationship with a work colleague. A chance sighting of the baker by her sons in the neighbourhood reignites her feelings once again. Joanna moves her expanding home sewing business to local premises, unaware that the baker has also established operations nearby. When her husband eventually disappears from her life, the baker appears in her shop, rekindling her longing to be with him. Will fate allow Joanna and the baker to be together permanently?
