Sweet Tea

Prepare for a journey through the South and enjoy the delicious food as author T.R. Lankford ushers you to the table in Sweet Tea, a wonderful, coming-of-age tale of a young, African American girl, Amina. Amina is at the ripe age to learn the meaning and importance of getting the family together and preparing for weekly Sunday dinner. Enjoy the deep-fried chicken, ox-tails, whole catfish, twice-baked potatoes, macaroni and cheese, potato salad, cream corn, turnip greens, black-eyed peas, peach cobbler, red velvet cake, Mississippi Mud pie, and sweet tea. As Amina interacts with women of two preceding generations, she understands the significance of becoming a lady.
