One day, by accident, a small paper is baked into the loaf, and the woman who buys that loaf becomes so moved by the words of wisdom inside that she returns to the bakery the next day for more. In that way, Jacob’s simple sayings become known and spread amongst the town.
Moving, heartfelt, and comforting, Jacob the Baker can be started on any page. As Jacob would say, it doesn't matter where you start, it matters that you start.
