About this ebook

Twelve-year-old June Farrell is sure of one thing—she’s great at making pies—and she plans to prove it by winning a blue ribbon in the Champlain Valley Fair pie competition. But a backlash against Vermont’s civil union law threatens her family’s security and their business. Even when faced with bullying, June won’t give up on winning the blue ribbon; more importantly, she won’t give up on her family.


It’s one thing to perfect a pie crust. But what does it take to stand up for your family when the whole town is watching?


  • A Heartfelt Coming of Age Story: June just wants to bake pies and hang out with her best friend. But this summer, she’ll have to find the courage to be herself, even when it’s scary.
  • LGBTQ+ Family Matters: When her mom and her partner Eva decide to have a civil union, June’s family becomes the talk of the town—and not everyone is being kind.
  • Baking and Friendship: From secret-recipe pies to navigating a rocky patch with her best friend, June discovers that the best ingredients are love and loyalty.
  • A Perfect Summer Read: Set on the beautiful shores of Lake Champlain, this is a story about finding your voice, standing up for what’s right, and the sweet taste of a blue-ribbon victory.
