We are reading Lasagna Means I Love You by Kate O'Shaughnessy. Copies of the book are available at the library. The Book Club is held at the Draper Senior Center.
This month, we are discussing Lasagna Means I Love You by Kate O'Shaughnessy.
What are the essential ingredients that make a family? Eleven-year-old Mo is making up her own recipe.
Nan was all the family Mo ever needed. But suddenly she’s gone, and Mo finds herself in foster care after her uncle decides she’s not worth sticking around for. Nan left her a notebook and advised her to get a hobby, like ferret racing or palm reading. But how could a hobby fix anything in her newly topsy-turvy life?
Then Mo finds a handmade cookbook filled with someone else’s family recipes. Even though Nan never cooked, Mo can’t tear her eyes away. Not so much from the recipes, but the stories attached to them. Though, when she makes herself a pot of soup, it is every bit as comforting as the recipe notes said.
Soon Mo finds herself asking everyone she meets for their family recipes. Teaching herself to make them. Collecting the stories behind them. Building a website to share them. And, okay, secretly hoping that a long-lost relative will find her and give her a family recipe all her own.
But when everything starts to unravel again, Mo realizes that if she wants a family recipe—or a real family—she’s going to have to make it up herself.
The Book Club meets on the Second Monday of each month from 12:00 to 1:00 pm at the Draper Senior Center.
