Sweet Potato Pie
Kathleen D. Lindsey; Lee & Low Books 2003
Papa tells the family to come to the kitchen one morning to receive some bad news – the bank is about to take away the family farm unless Papa repays a $75 loan. Because of a severe drought, all the family had left was a crop of sweet potatoes. Through ingenuity and hard work, the family works together to bake and sell Mama’s special sweet potato pies at the Harvest Celebration Fair. But could they bake enough pies to save the farm?
