Summary

"Georgia Gilmore was cooking when she heard the news. Mrs. Rosa Parks had been arrested -- pulled off a city bus and thrown in jail. And all because she wouldn't give up her seat to a white man. To protest, the radio was urging folks to stay off city buses for one day: December 5, 1955. A boycott! Something was cooking in Montgomery, Alabama...not just Georgia's famous sweet potato pie. Here is the delicious true story of a hidden figure of the civil rights movement: the woman whose cooking helped feed and fund the Montgomery bus boycott." --Book jacket
