Join us for a talk with Stacey Mei Yan Fong, author of 50 Pies, 50 States: An Immigrant's Love Letter to the United States Through Pie. Hear how she used her passion for home baking to honor the people, places, and flavors that made her love this country by baking a pie for each state. Stacey will be in conversation with Seynabou Sohai, the Senior Manager of Social Enterprise at Focus Points Family Resource Center. Book signing to follow.

'There's nothing as American as a slice of pie.' That's what Stacey Mei Yan Fong learned growing up in Singapore and Hong Kong, watching movies set in the United States, and dreaming of taking a road trip from coast to coast, stopping at diners along the way. After college in Savannah and a decade as a fashion designer, Stacey began her 50 Pies, 50 States project. To put it in her words, "This is my love letter to America!"
