A tender and vivid memoir about the radical grace we discover when we consider ourselves bound together in community, and a moving account of one woman’s attempt to answer the essential question Who are we to one another?“Liz Hauck reveals fascinating, sobering, and urgent truths about boyhood, inequality, and the power and promise of community.”—Piper Kerman, New York Times bestselling author of Orange Is the New Black Liz Hauck and her dad had a plan to start a weekly cooking program in a residential home for teenage boys in state care, which was run by the human services agency he co-directed. When her father died before they had a chance to get the project started, Liz decided she would try it without him. She didn’t know what to expect from volunteering with court-involved youth, but as a high school teacher she knew that teenagers are drawn to food-related activities, and as a daughter, she believed that if she and the kids made even a single dinner together she could check one box off of her father’s long, unfinished to-do list. This is the story of what happened around the table, and how one dinner became one hundred dinners.“The kids picked the menus, I bought the groceries,” Liz writes, “and we cooked and ate dinner together for two hours a week for nearly three years. Sometimes improvisation in kitchens is disastrous. But sometimes, a combination of elements produces something spectacularly unexpected. I think that’s why, when we don’t know what else to do, we feed our neighbors.” Capturing the clumsy choreography of cooking with other people, this is a sharply observed story about the ways we behave when we are hungry and the conversations that happen at the intersections of flavor and memory, vulnerability and strength, grief and connection.

Where to start? So many emotions… Home Made is the firsthand account of a young woman’s grief at losing her dad—himself founder of a group home and a food lover—to her living tribute to his memory. She cooks and eats a hundred dinners with an ever-changing cast of troubled boys. Often funny, tender, poignant, and sometimes tragic, the book is one of the best windows I’ve ever had into the children’s many disappointments, bravado, humor, coping mechanisms, and how she and they become a family.The dialogue is so authentic, I felt plopped into their kitchen and dining rooms. Liz Hauck is remarkably self-aware and candid about her cluelessness of their world and lets the boys school her. She perseveres to help them cook meals funded with her own meager budget, serving up love with every conversation, interaction, meal, and dessert. Never have I read such an insightful, even-handed view of both sides of the socioeconomic divide.Though favorably reviewed by the New York Times, this debut novel is flying under most people’s radar. I believe Home Made will come to be recognized as one of the most significant stories of its kind. Highly recommended for volunteers, teachers, case & social workers, and everyone who wants to understand and guide troubled youth.
