Autumn in the Ozarks

It's cold here in my valley. It has frosted 3 times already. The wild cherry trees have lost their beautiful red leaves while the walnuts are bright yellow in the sun. When their nuts hit my metal roof, it sounds like an explosion.
I finally got my book, The Rag Picker's Christmas" released. While I am pleased with how good it came out, I am disappointed at the price my publisher put on it. It is inconceivable to me that a woman who lives in a 2 room cabin below the poverty line and has written a book about an incident that occurred during the Great Depression would see it priced so high that no one will be able to buy it!
Would any of you who have had similar experiences with publishers, please let me know how you handled it?
