Ladycake Farm

Little Joe's family has been saving money for a long time, and they are finally able to follow their dream of buying a 40-acre farm. As the only African American family in the rural town in the mid-1900s, they face challenges, but they face them with a kindness and optimism that changes the hearts of those around them. "This charming story of friendship between races and neighbors is a treasure! The writing is witty and beautiful, and the characters are delightful. Mabel Leigh Hunt has packed a plethora of powerful messages into one book: hard work, humility, kindness, optimism, forgiveness, self-improvement, tolerance, patience, love of nature, and strong family relationships." -Jenny Phillips The Mission of The Good and the Beautiful Library -To bring back wholesome, high-quality books that were previously hard or impossible to find-To offer new, uplifting literature and clean-language versions of worthy classics-Give parents a place to buy books that are always clean, uplifting, and of the highest value
