AUTHOR’S NOTE
Thanks for reading. This series was long in the works, and for those readers who stuck by me and waited patiently, you’re the best.
I thought I would use this author’s note to talk about some viewpoints and references in the book.
Kendall Barnes
Kendall is an accidental hero.
He’s the kind of guy who is ejected from his comfort zone, having to live among vegetables, which is painful at first.
Kind of like when you have to start a diet.
I thought it was especially symbolic to have an African-American at the heart of the struggle in this book.
Trouble with food is many black people’s reality, and it stems from history, racism, and generations of making bad choices. It’s a silent struggle that many of us lose. We deny it, tell ourselves all kinds of lies, and eat poorly
