The Center of Everything

Back in stock!

Set in Kerrville, Kansas, The Center of Everything is told by Evelyn Bucknow, an endearing character with a wholly refreshing way of looking at the world. Living with her single mother in a small apartment, Evelyn Bucknow is a young girl wincing her way through adolescence. With a voice that is as charming as it is recognizable, Evelyn immerses the reader in the dramas of an entire community.

“A warm, beguiling book full of hard-won wisdom.”–Janet Maslin, The New York Times 

“The Center of Everything is as realistic and familiar as a summer day in Kansas–brave and gritty, strong voiced and spare.”
—O, The Oprah Magazine
