The Chicken Sisters

by K.J Dell'Antonia

Two small town sisters, one who stayed, one who left, use a reality TV competition to finally resolve their ongoing feud over who made better life choices. Expect picture-perfect lives that fall apart away from the camera, an all-chicken recreation of Stephen King’s Carrie and a manipulative host who really needs a donut—and expect to come away thinking about your own life choices, too.

 For more information, please visit K.J.'s website.

by Carolyn Brown

A headstrong woman discovers it’s never too late for change in New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown’s spirited novel about lost hope and second chances.
