Listen to Your Bread

Fiction

“Food, culture, and entrepreneurship converge in this chronicle of the European immigrant experience in the US. Yes, it is one family’s story in Olean, New York, but it’s also a reminder of the struggles during the Great Depression and World War II. Ann Haut’s conversational writing style in this novelized family history captures the flavor of time and place. Bread offers more than sustenance here—it represents connections to cultural identity, faith, and family.”
