“A charming, hilarious, feel-good story about the kind of bonds & rivalries only sisters can share. Also, a great present for your sister for the holidays!!”—Reese Witherspoon
Three generations. Two chicken shacks. One recipe for disaster.
In tiny Merinac, Kansas, Chicken Mimi's and Chicken Frannie's have spent a century vying to serve up the best fried chicken in the state—and the legendary feud between their respective owners, the Moores and the Pogociellos, has lasted just as long. No one feels the impact more than thirty-five-year-old widow Amanda Moore, who grew up working for her mom at Mimi's before scandalously marrying Frank Pogociello and changing sides to work at Frannie's. Tired of being caught in the middle, Amanda sends an SOS to Food Wars, the reality TV restaurant competition that promises $100,000 to the winner. But in doing so, she launches both families out of the frying pan and directly into the fire. . .
The last thing Brooklyn-based organizational guru Mae Moore, Amanda's sister, wants is to go home to Kansas. But when her career implodes, helping the fading Mimi's look good on Food Wars becomes Mae's best chance to reclaim the limelight—even if doing so pits her against Amanda and Frannie's. Yet when family secrets become public knowledge, the sisters must choose: Will they fight with each other, or for their heritage?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Two sisters, torn apart by ambition...and fried chicken. KJ Dell’Antonia’s rollicking family drama revolves around Mae and Amanda, siblings born into a restaurant dynasty in small-town Kansas and eventually pitted against each other thanks to a generations-old rift. A reality-cooking-show challenge ratchets up the tension, forcing the sisters to compete for the fried-chicken crown while also wrestling with their own increasingly chaotic romantic and domestic lives. A robust supporting cast of line cooks, nosy neighbors, and power-hungry television producers adds to the fun. Witty and warmhearted, The Chicken Sisters is a delicious diversion.
