The Secret of Honeycake

Kimberly Newton Fusco

After Hurricane’s mother dies, she finds comfort at her seaside home with her dog Brody-Bear and her sister Bronte. When Bronte becomes ill, Hurricane must leave them to live in the city with her exacting Aunt Claire. Quiet and withdrawn, she meets unexpected companions there: a boy who helps injured animals, a ragged cat, and a gentle chauffeur. As her life changes, these relationships help Hurricane find her voice and develop a new sense of belonging.
