Bathurst and its surrounds comprise one of
the largest pineapple farming regions of the country, and visitors are sure to get a glimpse of the pineapple motif that penetrates the entire town.
Jenny Wingfield, THE HOMECOMING OF SAMUEL LAKE (Random House) This story takes place on a
farm in the south of Arkansas in 1956, where the charms range from spunky children creating worlds for themselves on
large stretches of property, to family suppers complete with
pineapple upside down cake and made - from - scratch biscuits, to neighbors who operate on the honor system.
