Over the course of one summer, young Cady bakes one thousand pies (and a few cakes for good measure) learning much about herself in the process. Cady, wary of assistance and angry about her circumstances, comes to learn there are people worth trusting in this world, people who care deeply about her well being. As Cady and her aunt Shell navigate the boundaries of their burgeoning relationship, Shell simultaneously attempts to keep her shop in business. Nestled in the mountains above San Diego, in the town of Julian, Shell's Pies is struggling to stay afloat. When her father is arrested, twelve-year-old Cady is sent to live with her aunt, the proprietor of a pie shop. An excellent and engaging story about a young girl dealing with the effects of her father's mental illness and the ensuing instability.
