Journalist Pascale Le Draoulec, who grew up with tartes rather than pies, decided to find out what role pie has in the United States today. She set out on a road trip to find the best homemade pies, to collect stories about pie, and to find out whether pie has a future in a world in which it is so easy to buy a pie ready-made. Different friends accompanied her on different legs of this journey, as she traveled from San Francisco to the New York area. Along the way, she encounters such characters as Evelyn, who bakes pies at the Ranchman\'s Cafe and warns that \"One of these days y\'all are going to be looking for fresh pie and you\'re going to realize there\'s nobody cookin\' them no more\"; Dave, a bear trapper in Montana who makes huckleberry pies to ward off his demons; and Darrell, a 12-year-old Nyack boy who \"gets a real sense of accomplishment\" from making pies. Although only two of us had ever baked a pie from scratch, all of us enjoyed Le Draoulec\'s road trip. We also enjoyed reading the recipes she included in her book. The average rating was 3.9. Recommended for all book clubs!
