PRE-ORDER FOR APRIL 22, 2025

Chicken-Fried Women – A Hilarious and Heartfelt Tribute to the Strong Southern Women Who Raised Us

From the bestselling author of Eat Cake. Be Brave comes Chicken-Fried Women, a laugh-out-loud, big-hearted celebration of the bold, brassy, and beloved women who shaped our lives with wisdom, wit, and a whole lot of sass.

Southern Sass, Grit, and Heart—Served Hot

Inspired by icons like Lucy and Ethel and The Golden Girls, Chicken-Fried Women is a love letter to the Southern women who:

• Cook with love (and a little too much butter)

• Speak their minds without apology

• Show up for family—at bra fittings, baptisms, and everything in between

• Turn aquarobics and true crime into bonding moments

• Lean into faith, fire, and fierce loyalty

They’re the salty, spicy, sometimes sweet women who’ve taught us resilience, humor, and the power of a good clapback—and why you never mess with a woman who owns three kinds of hot rollers.

A Must-Read for Fans of Humor, Heart, and Southern Charm

Chicken-Fried Women is a warm, witty, and empowering book about friendship, family, and the fierce women who made us who we are—tender on the inside, tough on the outside, and always ready with a comeback and a casserole.
