Making Piece by Beth M. Howard

Title: Making Piece

Author: Beth M. Howard

GenreMemoir; food memoir


When the author receives news that her husband has died, she decides to make and share pie as a way to deal with her grief. A journalist, she packs up her RV and, together with a filmmaker friend, interviews pie experts at various stops. Her journey eventually takes her to the American Gothic House, which she then rents and where she opens her very own pie stand. While this is another memoir born of economic privilege and the author can't resist overstuffing her story with pie metaphors and similes, you will root for her and appreciate her message of connecting through food. Several pie recipes are included.
