Stuff We Didn't Actually Do, but Could Have, and May Yet
by Jill Conner Browne & Karin Gillespie
"I have no pride. I tell anything", Jill Conner Browne is fond of saying. As Her Royal Highness, Boss Queen of the Sweet Potato Queens, she has told legions of fans, known as "SPQ Wannabes," her delectable secrets to living, loving - and eating - like a queen. In her words, "More is more." How much more? The #1 New York Times bestselling author of five works of nonfiction now serves up The Sweet Potato Queens' First Big-Ass Novel: Stuff We Didn't Actually Do, But Could Have, and May Yet.
"Browne's hilarious and heartwarming debut sets sturdy groundwork for future fictional follies." - PW.
