SYNOPSIS: Cleo Gordon doesn’t belong but she sees no way out. She’s too beautiful for the small mountain town where she’s spent her whole life, too educated to relate to the locals, and too curious for her own good. Her quest to find light in the encroaching darkness leads her to catalog everything in her life that brings joy, from a slice of cherry pie chased by a cup of black coffee to the sound of a roaring waterfall in the pitch-black night. Her observations of “Life’s Little Luxuries” redefine what it means to be rich in today’s world, but with affluence comes responsibility. How Cleo navigates this new abundance of wealth is seen as both foolish and brilliant, but which is it?

HOW IT WEARS
Set against a bleary grey afternoon, A Little Secret opens with maraschino cherry sweetness; a fitting contrast to a steaming cup of pitch black filter coffee from a small-town diner in Nowheresville USA. Powdered almonds and tonka beans form a sliver of marzipan baked into the handmade crust, a secret known to the only baker in town with the recipe. Plump cherries stewed with rum until bursting and enriched with an earthen patchouli note stirs at the heart of the pie. You can leave your small town, but the pie will always have a place in your heart.
LORE LOVES
So obMay bring to mind: a pilgrimage to Central Washington, a marathon of magnificent television on the couch with your crush, a new tradition of doing something nice for yourself each and every day. Diners, truckstops, and dives of yore, candy-coloured recollections of adolescent infatuations, devouring a slice of Grandma’s cherry pie.
