Bread of Savannah

On a single day in Savannah, Georgia the paths of seven women cross unexpectedly at the Feu d’Or, an exclusive French Restaurant and cooking school, run by Madame Hannalie L’Eclaire. Old rivalries ignite when an ancient enemy, Sibelle Delaney, and her friend Dorah Blake, a belle with a penchant for violence, show up for dinner. Crisis in the kitchen when the baguettes fail, and mayhem in the dining room when Sibelle chokes and collapses. Madame suspects poison, and Rhealeen, the mysterious Gullah cook with a secret bent for adding voo doo to recipes, disappears. Bread circulates in the most unlikely ways when the young bread baker Savanna, in love with Madame’s son Robert, discovers her own bread stolen. The thief and con artist, Zephany Jones, barters the loaves, and the bread of Savanna turns up mysteriously all over town, including the communion table of a revival! With seriousness and humor, Bread of Savannah explores how ordinary events are shaped and influenced by forces beyond will or intention.
