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 more than 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.

“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
