Winfield Public Library’s Bookn’ with Friends book club will
meet on Monday, December 16 at 6:30pm to discuss this month’s selected book, The
Chicken Sisters by KJ Dell’Antonia.
Selected to meet the 2024 Reading Challenge topic “a book by a Kansas
author or set in Kansas” the book centers on a fried chicken feud in fictional
Merinac, Kansas. The book was adapted as a TV series currently streaming on
Hallmark+.
More on The Chicken Sisters from the
publisher:
In tiny Merinac, Kansas, Chicken Mimi’s and Chicken
Frannie’s have spent a century vying to serve the best fried chicken in the
state – and the legendary feud between their respective owners, the Moores and
the Pogociellos, has lasted just as long. No one feels the impact more than
thirty-five-year-old widow Amanda Moore, who grew up working for her mom at
Mimi’s before scandalously marrying Frank Pogociello and changing sides to work
at Frannie’s. Tired of being caught in the middle, Amanda sends an SOS to Food
Wars, the reality-TV restaurant competition that promises $100,000 to the
winner. But in doing so, she launches both families out of the frying pan and
directly into the fire.
