World of Pies

Roxanne is twelve living in Annette, Texas. It's 1962, and life, even in small-town Texas, is changing.

I remember reading and loving this story when I first read it over twenty years ago. I loved it on my second read this week. All the trials and difficulties of life that face Roxanne and her family and friends are met with gentle fortitude. Some are overcome; some are not. Nevertheless, it's a lovely read.
