  1. 1. Baking Cakes In Kigali

    A white South African woman fleeing her past sets up a small cake shop in Kigali and, through baking and quiet hospitality, becomes entwined with a diverse circle of neighbors—Rwandan survivors of the 1994 genocide, people living with HIV/AIDS, and other displaced souls—learning to confront grief, guilt and cultural difference while discovering unexpected friendships, love and the slow, fragile work of healing in a country rebuilding itself.
