Zoe is working to prove to everyone around her that she is worthy of being on Food Network's Kid Bake Challenge. On her 12th birthday, however, she receives an unexpected letter from her father, who has been in prison for a crime. A crime he says he did not commit. With recipes and the weight of her father's confession on her mind, it is up to Zoe to search for truth as she questions assumptions and strives to do what is right - even in the face of opposition.

This is a wonderful book for kids and adults to see how wrongful incarceration hurts many people, but it doesn't become trauma porn. Zoe is a person with a life and the others around her are real and trying to live their life. This is a book I would like my kids to read.
A sweet middle grade story about the meaning of forgiveness, family and the very thought-provoking theme of innocence and guiltiness in the prison system.
