I truly LOVED LOVED LOVED this book. It is a true story about how a woman who lost her husband at a very young age survived through making pies. Beth M Howard actually lives in Eldon Iowa in the American Gothic House (the house with the man & woman standing holding the pitchfork). She ended up here after baking pies for celebrities, judging at state fairs and just making pies and giving to people on the street just to make someone feel good. She now has a pie stand "The Pitchfork Pie Stand" outside her home in Iowa and sells hundreds of pies a year to those who come to see the famous house. This was a wonderful read. It made me cry & laugh & see hope. Prize winning recipes are shared in the back.It was well written interesting and just a lovely read.
