The Secret of Everything by Barbara O'Neal
4.0
As usual, Barbara O'Neal delivers a beautiful and heart-warming story.
Besides the delicious-sounding recipes, my favorite part of the book is the little girl who just doesn't fit in. She's acting out, and she doesn't know why. Her problems aren't magically solved by the end of the book, but we see adults in her life willing to step outside the box to try to understand her and help her.
Understand, this book is not the little girl's story. It's just the piece that struck me most when I was reading it. The main character, Tessa, goes on a pretty amazing journey in the course of the book, some of which I was able to easily predict, but some that surprised me.
A lovely book.
