think they knew how they held me together, and also, as a
woman, I don’t think you realize how vulnerable you are through
a divorce.”
On March 20, 2021, Baker drove through the winding roads
of Atlanta Country Club to look at the house on the hill she had
driven by hundreds of times with her mother before.
“I drove by, wrote down the address of this house and I
drove off the street. I turned right on Atlanta Country Club, and
I said, ‘One day. One day I’m going to live in this neighborhood,’”
Baker said. “And this house came on the market within 30 days
of my divorce being final. And I snapped it up, I didn’t think
twice about buying in this market… So I think everything
happens for a reason.”
Though her mother passed before she could see the dream
become reality, the house on the hill, Baker said there’s a peace
and a piece of her in the house.
“This was my mom’s dream home,” she said. “I look around
this room, I look around this house, and there isn’t anything in
here that doesn’t have my mom’s fingerprint on it. That was one
thing about this house when I walked through the door. I just felt
like she was with me.”
