A beautiful, candid reflection on body image, self-worth, purpose, and hope. Kendall Vanderslice recounts bits of her childhood, identifying the moments when she realized that her figure played a factor in other people's opinion of her. Charting first her rigorous ballet training that came to a sudden, heartbreaking end, then her pursuit of baking and restaurant work, she tenderly observes the pivotal moments that informed her future and helped shape her faith, including a faith in her body and in food. Throughout the book, tidbits of history, science, and theology about bread provide the scaffolding for Vanderslice's story. Impressively, these sections felt much deeper than mere story device; rather, the authors reverence for the miracle that is bread utterly suffused the text and gave richness to an already compelling story. The balance of food writing, theological reflections, and personal memoir is well-struck and results in a really lovely work.
