NOTES

When journalist Beth Howard's young husband dies suddenly, she packs up the RV he left behind and hits the American highways. At every stop along the way-be it filming a pie documentary or handing out free slices on the streets of Los Angeles-Beth uses pie as a way to reach out and find purpose. Making Piece powerfully shows how one courageous woman uses the simple act of giving to others to triumph over tragedy. It tells of the role of fate, second chances, and the strength found in community. Named one of the Best Books of 2012 by San Francisco Book Review Named one of the 10 Best Non-Cookbook Food Books of 2012 by Serious Eats "One unique, crazy-quilt, truly American tale of reinvention." -Publishers Weekly "An unabashedly honest look at young widowhood and how good friends and pie-baking can go a long way toward healing a broken heart." -The Oregonian "This beautifully written memoir is, ultimately, about hope. It's about the journey of healing and recovery, of facing fears, finding meaning in life again, and moving forward with purpose and, eventually, joy." -Leite's Culinaria
