God Save the Sweet Potato Queens

Hallelujah! The Sweet Potato Queens are back!

In 1999, Jill Conner Browne, royal boss of Jackson, Mississippi's own glorious Sweet Potato Queens, introduced them to the world in the hilarious best seller The Sweet Potato Queen's Book of Love (which contained everything you ever need to know about love, life, men, marriage, and the importance of being prepared). But, fortunately for us, that was not the final chapter in the Queens' splendid saga. The Sweet Potato Queens still have plenty of stuff to say and valuable wisdom to impart about how they went from being Cute Girls to Fabulous Women, including:

• Dating for the Advanced, or Advancing
• The Joys of Marriage - if you must
• More Delicious, Death-Defying Recipes
• The Promise for Men - six little words that will make any woman swoon
• Lolling About - the official activity of the Sweet Potato Queens

And, of course,

• The All-True Story of the Two Most Wonderful Men in the World

Not to mention:

• Reader Mail - honoring the adventures of brand-new Wannabes and Honorary Queens from around the world

If you haven't met the Sweet Potato Queens yet, this is the introduction you've been waiting for. If you already know the joys of Queendom, this is your official welcome-back party.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Browne succeeds at both extremes, writing a jaundiced but life-affirming book with sweetness and heart." (Publishers Weekly)
"Fans will welcome the follow-up to her first effort, and those new to her work will welcome the introduction." (AudioFile)
"Grab this little guide and launch a more dynamic and hilarious lifestyle." (Booklist)

Honest, warm-hearted and of course, funny

After reading (and loving) "The Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love", I was thrilled that my (now, at least in my mind) dear friend Jill again picked up her pen. Her books are funny, touching and insightful, and has a way of really "hitting home". I laughed and I cried. Hey, if for no other reason, buy the darned thing to hear the chapter about Chimney Swifts.

who doesn't want to be a Sweet Potato Queen?

Another excellent book! I can't wait to continue with the rest of them.,so much fun!

Best of the Best

Funny, bawdy, memorable. This is my favorite book. I quote from it regularly and have had 100% success with the "promise". I wouldn't offer this to my mohter-in-law but I did share it with my daughter. She loved it too!

A wonderful book

This is soooo good! I laughed out loud so many times. I almost had to pull my car over at one point, because I was laughing so hard, I could barely see to drive. The end, about the two most wonderful men in the world, is so real and deep that I was crying, but it was not a bad feeling. Jill Conner Browne is marvelous at putting feelings into words. I wish Audible had all of her books on tape.

IF YOUR NOT AFRAID TO LAUGH OUT LOUD

THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU,I CAN ALMOST SEE MYSELF THERE WITH THE LADIES.I WISH THEY WOULD COME OUT WITH A COOKBOOK ON ITS OWN SO MNY MOUTH WATERING RECIPES

Savory and Sweet with lots of delicious fat

Laughed my way into a sweet emotional ending!
great recipes! I'm learning how to be a proper lady of the South

A Positive Outlook on All Things

Jill Conner Browne is a fantastic narrator and a wonderful story teller; this book, as with most of the Sweet Potato Queen’s books includes a lot of fun stories some about her or from friends and fans. Browne has the perfect recipe for these books, it starts off with a lot of funny short stories, with some advice thrown in, of course, then there is a sad/tear-jerker story somewhere in the middle, and then she wraps it up with some recipes which sound to die for.

Prepare to fantasize about delicious treats and cocktails while laughing your ass off. If you’re ever in need of a pick-me-up, the Queen will make you feel good.

The Sweet Potato Queens Saved Me

This is the second book I’ve read and I will most definitely work my way through all of them!! Jill you’re amazing!

The Best of the Bunch

Of all 3 Sweet Potato Queen books, this is by far the best. All the laughs are there, but the end is tempered with a sweetness that requires kleenex.

wonderful

This book is so funny. I keep laughing out loud in inappropriate places!! You will thoroughly enjoy this delight...just make sure you are in a place where you can get a good belly laugh going!
