Rose-Ellen 'Zell' Carmichael Roy wears her late husbands Nick's camouflage apron when she's not in the kitchen. She can't remember the last time she wore a bra, and she speak to her dog in a voice of a pirate. That's her widows style. Its been a year since Nick died during a post Katrina relief mission in Orleans. Long enough, according to the grief pamphlets, to have begun moving on with her life. But Zell is still unable to enter her attic, which is full of Nick memories. She hasn't even turned on her oven because cooking was Nick's chore. That is, until she decides to enter celebrity chef Polly Pinch's first annual Desserts that Warm the Soul baking contest, hoping to win the $20,000 grand prize to donate to Katarina survivors in Nick's honor. Meanwhile, in the adjacent apartment, nine-year-old Ingrid Knox is learning to cope with the loneliness of growing up without a mother. With an imagination as big as her heart, Ingrid treasures her doting father but begins to plot how she will meet her mother, whom she fiercely believes is Polly Pinch. When an embarrassing baking mishap brings Zell and Ingrid together, they form an unlikely friendship that will alter both of their lives forever. Together they embark on winning the Desserts that Warm the Soul contest-and learn that through the many sorrows and joys of life, with friendship, community and love, anything is possible.
