What You Need To Know:
THE SWEETER SIDE OF LIFE has a lot of heart to it. The heroine has a great character arc. She starts off as a materialistic, selfish woman and ends up as a warm, friendly woman who cares more about friends and family than wealth and success. There are even a few Christian references. The acting and production design lack the quality of many other programs, but, the heart of the story and its moral lessons make up for this lack. THE SWEETER SIDE OF LIFE also has very little objectionable content.

More Detail:
In THE SWEETER SIDE OF LIFE, Desiree Harper has the perfect life. Her husband is a highly successful, wealthy Manhattan doctor, and she has everything she needs. Everything falls apart, however, when her husband breaks the news he’s leaving her for a younger woman.
Desiree loses everything and is forced to leave Manhattan and move into her Father’s bakery in New Jersey. With nowhere else to go, Desiree helps her father out around the bakery while her lawyer tries to find a way for her to get back to New York.
One day, Desiree is making bread deliveries around town and runs into Benny, a young chef who owns an old restaurant located in a mansion. Benny is taken by Desiree and asks her out. Because she has no desire to stay in New Jersey, she says no.
Worried that her Dad’s bakery isn’t making enough money to stay afloat, Desiree starts changing things to bring more customers. She creates a small little cake she calls “Paddycakes” that become extremely popular in town and even makes news in New York. She begins to fall in love with the small town and the people in it. But, her Manhattan past starts to creep back on her.
