The summer that a great drought sweeps across the county, the only crop Sadie's family is able to save is the sweet potatoes. Money is tight and if Papa can't pay his loan back soon then they'll lose the farm. Suddenly Mama comes up with an idea - sweet potato pies! The family can sell them at the Harvest Celebration that starts the very next day. There's not much time to get ready, but the family rises to the challenge - and in the end it's Sadie who comes up with the recipe for success. Contains an easy-to-use recipe that families can prepare together!
