Sierra Hawthorne, 28, former Michelin-star restaurant apprentice. She stepped away from the kitchen five years ago for marriage and wed into the De La Rosa family, San Francisco’s real-estate elite.At a charity gala, she caught her husband entangled with the bridesmaid. She smashed a glass and exposed them in public. Her mother-in-law handed her a microphone, branding her a “deranged woman in a depressive episode.” Overnight, she lost the mansion, her son, and even her own identity.With her last six hundred dollars, she bought a second-hand oven and brought her grandmother’s cinnamon rolls to San Francisco’s bustling farmers’ market. What she does not know is that her enemy is far more than just the matriarch — and the leverage she holds is greater than she could ever imagine.
