Black
pepper swirls that absorb anger, tortillas that mend broken-hearts, and
sundried cookies that encircle a cheating spouse (again) are only three of 16
fast-paced stories in Black Pepper
Visions: Original Food Stories You Can Eat (revised). This 2016 eBook (FolkHeart Press #978-0-9983938-0-3), written by Karen Pierce Gonzalez,

historical roots that literally span centuries and continents, food lore about
how we grow, prepare, and eat our food allows us to creatively preserve

protect us,” said Gonzalez, a folklorist, journalist and author of several
books including Family Folktales: What Are Yours? (FolkHeart Press).
