(3) 4-6 When eleven-year-old Steffy's usually absent father returns, it upsets the stable life she and her sister have built in their aunt's home; their mother lives in a care facility due to a traumatic brain injury. Steffy copes by cooking; her autobiographical cookbook is appended. The novel is honest about the difficulties of Steffy's childhood, and a relatively happy resolution contributes to its middle-grade appeal.
