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.
Professional Book Editor: Having your novel, short story or nonfiction manuscript proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. I can provide that second eye.
