Abstract
The unexpected responsibility of caring for her autistic brother during her summer in Paris turns out to be just the adventure that Clara needed. Growing up in the shadow of a famous mother, Clara has never felt good about her body. Now, at sixteen, she has an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating. After a social media disaster, she decides to escape for the summer to Paris to stay with her estranged dad and her six-year-old brother, Alastair, who is on the autism spectrum. Charged with his care, Clara and Alastair set out to explore the city. Paris, and a handsome young French baker, teach Clara about first love and a new love of food. And Alastair teaches Clara about patience, trust, and the beauty of loving without judgment.
