Here's a preview of the story:
Nestled in a cozy storefront in East Harlem, New York, there's a bakery called Janie's Life-Changing Baked Goods. The bakery is known for its pie crust cookies, created by Janie Deegan. Really, though, the most interesting thing about the bakery is how it changed Deegan's life.
Just a few short years ago, she was homeless and recovering from an addiction.
"When I was getting sober, I found that my life was so out of control, but baking was... just this beautiful, meditative, very controlled, artistic outlet for me," Deegan told CBS News. "And I was 25 and had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, but I just found that baking helped me reconnect with people."
At first, Deegan was just baking as a hobby – but her friends showed her she could do more with it.
