Miss Hattie’s Pie and the Science of Happiness

There are some things you just don’t challenge in a small Texas town: Friday night football, Pastor Jim’s sermon schedule…
and Miss Hattie Mae Wallace’s lemon meringue pie.

Every year, her legendary creation wins the church potluck without so much as a crumb out of place. But this year, one determined mom and her anxious young sous-chef decide it’s time for a little friendly baking rebellion—armed with science, courage, and three sticks of butter. In a kitchen full of laughter, tears, and a dog hiding under the couch, they discover that victory doesn’t always come with a blue ribbon on top. Sometimes, happiness looks like a pie that leans a little… but was made with love.

With a generous slice of humor and a dollop of heart, Miss Hattie’s Pie and the Science of Happiness serves up a delicious reminder:
Joy isn’t about winning—it’s about showing up with something sweet to share.
