This is another gem I learned about in Real Simple magazine. Sometimes I think that I don't need that magazine any more, but then I remember that I find a lot of the books I read in the magazine and that I do really enjoy flipping through and reading the magazine. So, it stays.
I started this somewhere around March 7 and finished it on March 24. This one took a little longer for me to read. During this time in March, I was suffering from near constant pain from a back injury and wasn't sleeping much. It was near impossible to get comfortable laying down (which is how I usually read - in bed before going to sleep). This one was a little slow going.
This book follows two sisters, who are sort of estranged, and their dueling family chicken restaurants in a small town in Kansas. One sister is much more cosmopolitan - she moved to New York, was on a talk show, married, kid. The other sister, is more rural - she stayed in Kansas, married, 2 kids, widowed, works in one of the chicken restaurants. This sister had the brilliant idea to apply for a reality TV competition show (something you might find on the Food Network) pitting the 2 chicken restaurants against each other. Sounds like a great, idea, right? Ummmmm, no.
This book follows what happens when the show comes to town. As Real Simple put it, this book is "a delightful look at sibling relationships and the unbreakable bonds of family." Lots of family drama. Lots of secrets. I enjoyed this book.
