Zoe just celebrated her 12th birthday with a baking party. As she gets home she collects the mail and finds a letter addressed to her from her father.....who is in prison. She doesn't tell her mom, but reads the letter and decides to write back to him. She has never had a letter before and her mom won't talk about him. Zoe and her dad start corresponding with one another and Zoe keeps it from her mom, but does end up telling her grandma, who is staying with her during the summer. As Zoe starts to get to know her father and his crime, she begins to question if he is innocent and she and her neighbor start to investigate to prove him not guilty.
This book has many great qualities such as, diversity, loss of friendship because of a misunderstanding, and reconciliation of friends and family. On top of that Zoe is interested in baking so there are a lot of fun elements on top of the serious subjects.
