From the Kitchen of Half Truth emerges a beautiful story of a mother\'s love. Seductively hidden amid the magical, mystical stories she has created for her daughter all of her life, is hidden the truth of Valerie\'s life -- and the hurt, rejection and abuse have caused her to create a world for her daughter void of anything but fantasy, flavors and laughter. Daughter Meg struggles with the endless imaginery stories of her childhood and upon the impending death of her mother seeks answers she feels she needs in order to bring order and meaning to her life. Little does she realize that what her mother gave her will inspire her to forge ahead in life and open her eyes to the beauty and lives around her. This was a whimsical, beautiful story that caused me to laugh, shake my head in anger at times and made me shed tears. Fact is stranger than fiction? Perhaps. And the truth shall set you free? Be careful what you ask for. Either way, there is much truth to be had in the Kitchen of Half Truth -- an inspiring read for all mothers.
