Here the reader follows Lois on her baking journey, as she learns how to keep the culture alive, to help it grow and eventually to bake with it. This is easier said than done for Lois, who is very technologically minded, and not much of a baker. She ends up in possession of their sourdough culture, the one capable of producing their famous bread, along with the instruction necessary to produce her own sourdough. As a result, when the brothers are sadly forced out of business, they have a special delivery for Lois in honour of her loyalty. So frequent in fact, that she is known as their ‘number one eater’. She does however enjoy some contact with the two brothers who run the local takeaway of which she is a frequent customer. The protagonist is Lois Clary, a software engineer based in San Francisco who spends her days tirelessly coding, allowing her little time for human contact.
