Publisher's Synopsis
Cooking With Butter? by Annie Brown follows Maggie, an Oklahoma high school senior, as she explores sandwiches, love, and societal expectations to uncover who she truly is and has always been.
Inspired by a competitive Speech & Debate speech from an Oklahoma high schooler during the 2020 presidential election, "Cooking With Butter" explores human identity and sexuality in a world where the political climate in which we were raised often impacts how we view love. What happens when you cook out societal expectations and what can it help you learn about yourself? This story of young love, queer theory, and joy explores just that through music, moments, and plenty of grilled cheese sandwiches.
