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 bestseller 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
• The All-True Story of the Two Most Wonderful Men in the World
• 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.
This only gets a lower rating then the first one because it took me slightly longer to get through some parts. These women are outrageous and I can't help but love them. For the most part the book as a whole has a very lighthearted way about it but it does have some pretty good lessons hidden in there. The ending of this book is really touching though, and the only part that truly gives you a sobering moment. If I can find any of the other Sweet Potato Queen books I'll definitely give them a go.
