Publisher's summary

"A bowl of my Mama's gumbo and a little wine will solve any problem you've got," said every single Gumbeaux Sistah ever. Five, fiery, Southern women wage a hilarious war against the problems of one of their deep-in-trouble sisters using their improbable friendships, evil-genius schemes, oh-so-numerous cocktails, and a shared passion for good gumbo.

When southern artist, Judith Lafferty, loses her long-time, prestigious museum job to a smarmy, do-nothing younger man, she finds herself devastated, alone in her middle age, and on the brink of financial disaster. Enter the incomparable Gumbeaux Sistahs, who deliver day-old coffee to her front door as a ploy, then go on to kidnap her, feed her excellent gumbo, and come up with outrageous solutions to her problems.

Their motives are just good excuses to drink wine, have a great time, argue over whose mother makes the best gumbo, and, most of all, help a sister out. Any challenges that face the over 50 crowd don't stand a chance against these five resourceful ladies. The Gumbeaux Sistahs has many twists and laugh-out-loud moments as well as some truly heart-wrenching ones too. It's a heart-warming, smart story of friendship and unexpected shenanigans that you do not want to miss.

Cute story. Painful narration.

This story is light and enjoyable. I loved the story of the sisterhood. The narration was ok until you got to the dialogue tags, then the narrator sounded robotic. It was very strange and irritating.

Women helping women

Being raised by a mom who favored men over women when it came to trust and loyalty, I loved reading about this group of ladies who show up for one another. I enjoyed getting to know them and tagging along on their fun adventures.

I enjoyed this book.

I liked the book, but sometimes it sounded like it was being read by a computer. Some words were said like a computer says words. It had a good story line, it just needed more of a human touch.

Difficult to listen to .

The performance is dry and irritating. The writing is simple with weak character development. It was a narrative that I could not warm up to.
