"The Secret Ingredient"

Stewart Lewis is a singer-songwriter and radio journalist and is the author of You Have Seven Messages. He lives in Washington, D.C.

Lewis applied the Page 69 Test to his new novel, The Secret Ingredient, and reported the following:

Yes, page 69 is very telling indeed, and I think it would make people want to read on. Olivia, the main character, is reconnecting with an old crush, Theo, and she is talking about the situation with her Dads' restaurant. Also, birds fly in a V formation overhead and she says one word that finishes the page.

"Grace."

That word, like the birds, sums up Olivia. The way she cooks, the way she navigates through life, the way she ends up seeing her life.
