They remind me of many of the recipes I grew up with, which came from the backs of boxes of Bisquick and the labels of soup cans. The Twinkie Pie of the title is a special dessert they make for birthdays, but there is a whole book of recipes made from readily available ingredients. A high school dropout, DiDi works as a hairstylist and does her best to raise GiGi, fostering her memories of their mother through one of their only remaining links – their mother’s recipes. DiDi, the elder sister, has custody of GiGi. This book is the story of two sisters, DiDi and GiGi, on their own since the loss of their mother. Also, sorry it took me so long to get to it. I love how the youth librarian community is all about sharing and spreading the word, and Angie is a strong member of it. Let me start off by thanking Angie Manfredi of Fat Girl Reading for asking the author to send me a copy of this book.
