Writer's Digest Book Award Contest Evaluation --April 2004

The Truth About Cinnamon is an in-depth exploration of a family through generations and the gradual unfolding of the McClinty clan's secrets. The author's deft characterization and skill with imagery make this an intriguing read. From the first page of chapter one, where home feels like a hot bath and clean sheets, to the sentimental visit to the family cemetery, Cheri Laser paints a recognizable literary landscape. Each of the generations spring to life as the protoganist, Megan Cole, comes to know them. The reader is drawn on a spellbinding ride through the lush history of the McClinty family... The Truth About Cinnamon is a fascinating glimpse into the lives and secrets of those who have come before us.
