A heartbreaking yet hopeful novel about one girl’s journey through grief and the family, first love, and shocking truths she finds on the other side—perfect for fans of Jandy Nelson and Every Last Word.

All her life, it’s just been sixteen-year-old Skylar and her rockstar dad against the world. But this year, a horrible accident cuts the summer short and upends her life.

As Skylar grieves her dad, she discovers a huge secret: her mother is still alive. Now, Skylar is uprooted from her home and thrust into a family of strangers on the other side of the country. Furious with the mother who deserted her, she seeks comfort in her baking and decides to enter a local competition with a dazzling prize of a trip to a Parisian pastry school. As she gains her footing in the contest and her new town, she befriends a girl who seems just as lost as her, and she also finds morethan friendship in the frustratingly irresistible boy next door. But as Skylar bakes her way to a brighter future, she’ll uncover truths about the past in the last place she expected.

Filled with heaps of emotion, a spoonful of hope, and an unexpected twist of fate, this is a powerful story about the true meaning of home. Contemporary Death & Dying Difficult Situations Family Family & Relationships Literature & Fiction Multicultural Romance

Critic reviews

“Lane Clarke once again delivers a tender, hopeful novel—one that balances laugh-out-loud moments with raw, aching honesty. Every Reason to Stay is a powerful ode to love in all its forms: trying when it’s hard, grieving when it hurts, forgiving when it feels impossible, and the radical decision to stay." —Danielle Parker, author of Love on Paper
"A thoughtful blend of a gentle coming-of-age story and an honest exploration of grief, in all its forms. Lane Clarke is a master at navigating complex themes with humor and grace."—Myah Hollis, author of Not About a Boy
