Center Cut, is a love letter to bacon, and even more so, a love letter to myself. Once upon a time, I was lost in a controlling relationship. After it ended, I was walking through the aisles of the grocery store and realized that even what I bought for myself at the grocery store had been controlled. I looked at the bacon, something I had not bought in fear of getting yelled at, and I told myself I would never find myself in that position again. This book acts as a reminder to that.
