Faith, fortitude, and forgiveness — a must-read

What a powerful memoir. The Bean Pie is about so much more than a pie — it is about faith, resilience, and the women who held a family together through everything. Tiffany Green-Abdullah writes with love and reverence. I cried, I laughed, I reflected. Five stars.

More than a recipe — a remembering of a people

As someone who grew up eating bean pie after Jumu'ah, this book hit home in the deepest way. Tiffany honors her ancestors and the history of Black Muslim traditions with dignity and care. The audiobook is beautifully narrated too. Highly recommend both formats.
