Chicken Fried Women

<p><b>From the bestselling author of <i>Eat Cake. Be Brave</i>, a love letter to the strong, opinionated Southern women who raised her and surround us all.</b><br><br>Lucy and Ethel. Laverne and Shirley. Dorothy, Sophia, Blanche, and Rose. <i>Chicken-Fried Women</i> is a celebration of them: the women who raised us, taught us to cook and clap back. The ones who prayed for us, raged at us and humbled us a notch or two when we needed it. These are the women who have encouraged us, teased us, chastised us, and mortified us. And as they fill up the seats around our table, we realize we wouldn''t have it any other way.<br><br>They''re our Chicken-Fried Women-battered on the outside, tender on the inside. Some are salty and a couple are Nashville Hot. Filled with a hilarious cast of larger-than life women, this book explores why no one messes with Southern women and their hair, why the whole family comes along when you go bra shopping, why true crime and aquarobics brings us together, and how faith shapes us through it all. <br><br>Insightful, big-hearted and laugh-out-loud funny, <i>Chicken-Fried Women</i> is a celebration of friendship, kinship and the women who shaped us.</p>
