Holiday Book Recommendation: Gumbeaux Sistahs

If you need a good holiday gift for those who enjoy Southern or women's fiction, check out my editing client Jax Frey's "The Gumbeaux Sistahs."

Five Southern women wage a hilarious war against the ageism problems of one of their deep-in-trouble sisters using their improbable friendships, evil-genius schemes, oh-so-numerous cocktails, and a shared passion for good gumbo.

When Southern artist Judith Lafferty loses her long-time, prestigious museum job to a much younger man, she finds herself devastated, alone in her sixties, and on the brink of financial disaster. Enter the incomparable Gumbeaux Sistahs, who deliver day-old coffee to her front door as a ploy, then go on to kidnap her, feed her excellent gumbo, and come up with outrageous solutions to her problems.

Their motives are just good excuses to drink wine, have a great time, argue over whose mother makes the best gumbo, and, most of all, to help a sister out. Ageism, dangerous boyfriends, deep loneliness, and any other challenges that can face the over fifty crowd don't stand a chance against these five resourceful ladies.

"The Gumbeaux Sistahs" is a heart-warming, smart story of friendship and unexpected shenanigans that you do not want to miss. It's available on Amazon.com.

Holiday Book Recommendation for LitFic Lovers

If you need a good holiday gift for those who enjoy literary fiction, check out my editing client Jalesa Morrison's "Four Years of Despair."

Jaunell Morris was a typical kid: hanging out with friends and going to school. Although being teased occasionally and living in one of the poorest and dangerous towns in southern Illinois, Jaunell was a happy and talented child. Things turned for the worse for Jaunell shortly after her thirteenth birthday.

Joan, Jaunell’s mother, believed that Jaunell was going through a phrase. But Jaunell’s increasingly violent behavior proved her wrong. Obnoxious behavior and suicidal thoughts led Jaunell to Chestnut Mental Health Hospital where she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

After being discharged from Chestnut, Joan felt like she had her daughter back. But things go from bad to worse for the Morris family. Refusing to take medication, fighting, truancy, and suicide attempts lead to multiple hospitalizations for Jaunell.

Will Jaunell receive the help that she desperately needs?

"Four Years of Despair" is available on Amazon.com.
