23 hours ago 7

Loss, distance, and unexpected connection quietly shape the story told in One Alpen Day. Michele Davenport-Dutton frames a narrative where private grief and public pressure collide, allowing two people from very different worlds to cross paths at a moment when neither is certain what comes next.

Reeling from a failed marriage and the emotional toll of pregnancy loss, Angela Sutton steps away from her former life and begins working with her aunt in the family bakery. The rhythm of daily work offers comfort, but not fulfillment. Her routine is disrupted when Mason Glade, a prominent Hollywood actor, enters her life.

Mason’s fame offers little protection from personal turmoil. His estranged wife, Camila, struggles with alcoholism, and the public nature of her behavior has made life difficult for their two young children. When Camila enters rehab, Mason takes his children and their nanny away, hoping to provide them with calm and safety. As Angela becomes part of their daily lives, Mason observes her natural bond with his children and finds himself drawn to her kindness and steadiness. With unresolved marital ties and emotional wounds still fresh, both must weigh desire against responsibility.

Michele Davenport-Dutton has loved reading since childhood and was once the top reader at her Montessori school in Garmisch, Germany. A lifelong fan of heartfelt love stories with happy endings, she finally brought her own story to the page with this debut novel.

Now fulfilling a long-held dream of becoming an author, she lives in Shafter, California, with her husband, Chris. Together they have eight adult children and seven grandchildren, with hopes for many more. Visit Michele on Instagram.
