But it's been a while since these delectable desserts graced the counter at the local diner. The townspeople--a hearty mix of Anglos, Hispanics, and Native Americans--like to think of themselves as family, especially when it comes to caring for Alex, a disabled little boy being raised by his grandparents. But, unforeseen by all, Pie Town's fortunes are about to take a major turn--due to the arrival of a new priest, Father George Morris, who seems woefully unprepared for his first assignment, and the young hitchhiker Trina, who some townsfolk just <em>know</em> is trouble. . . .</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[A] feel-good story--one that will be enjoyed by readers of Jan Karon and Nicholas Sparks."--<i>Booklist</i> on <i>Pie Town</i><br><br>"A feel-good tale....Heartfelt."--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> on <i>Pie Town</i><br><br>"Hinton has an excellent sense of Southwestern rhythms and cadence."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> on <i>Pie Town</i><br><br>"Reading Hinton's light, quickly moving prose feels like sitting down to catch up with an old friend over coffee."--<i>New Mexico Magazine</i> on <i>Pie Town</i><br><br>"Warm, poignant and moving....A lovely book."--<i>The Pilot</i> (Southern Pines, NC) on <i>Pie Town</i><br><br>"Lynne Hinton deftly pens an uplifting tale of hope, faith, and community."--Lori Wilde, New York Times bestselling author of The Welcome Home Garden Club on Pie Town<br>
