Description
After her parents’ divorce, Fizzy is left trying to prove she belongs in a blended family that still treats her like an afterthought. Determined to turn her feelings into something tangible, she throws herself into the Southern Living Cook-Off, hoping her cooking—and her entry—will finally show everyone that she’s more than a “leftover kid.” As she navigates family tensions, shifting loyalties, and the pressure to be seen, Fizzy discovers that identity isn’t something you earn once; it’s something you build, bite by bite. With a warm, humorous voice and heartfelt emotional clarity, this story explores belonging, self-worth, and the ways food can become a language for love, resilience, and change.
