Description

When Tosh spends days in his grandmother Honey’s kitchen, he learns more than how to bake—he absorbs the stories, traditions, and resilience behind every sweet. As Honey’s memory begins to slip, Tosh steps in to help carry on the rituals, turning familiar recipes into a way to preserve family history and honor the legacy of their enslaved ancestors. Blending heartfelt storytelling with a comforting, hands-on baking experience, this book explores memory, intergenerational love, and the power of food to keep culture alive. With lyrical, accessible prose and a warm, community-centered tone, Kelly Starling Lyons crafts a moving tribute to heritage—complete with a recipe for tea cakes that invites readers to share the tradition beyond the page.
