Title: Sugar Land
Description: "This is the story of the Smithers sisters - Kit and Kiki. As children, they performed throughout Texas as the Sugar Babes, but those glory days of county fair stages, adoring fans, and gold lame gowns are long gone. Now Kit and Kiki are grown up. All that remains are the blues these sisters sing as they learn to cope with the vicissitudes of real life: withering marriages, cheating spouses, balloon mortgages, lost opportunities, the demands of motherhood. Then there's Neeva, Kit's mother-in-law-from-hell.

And Mother Daubert, Kiki's perfectly-coiffed mother-in-law-from-denial-city. Both full of surprises."--BOOK JACKET. "Simultaneously heartbreaking and hilarious, Sugar Land is the story of how two modern goddesses earn their wings by coming to terms with life and death and everything in between."--BOOK JACKET.
