Pero esta vez se cumple el vigésimo aniversario del club y la presidenta ha propuesto celebrarlo por todo lo alto y organizar un viaje muy especial. La mayoría de estas ancianas no han pisado la playa en su vida y solo han visto el mar a través de la televisión o en alguna postal descolorida. Ahora ven la oportunidad de cumplir ese sueño pendiente y deciden ir por primera vez a la costa todas juntas. Pero este hermoso deseo no es tan sencillo de cumplirpara una cuadrilla de intrépidas abuelas, además con la crisis el club de jubilados se ha quedado sin fondos. Por suerte, pronto empiezan a surgir ideas: tal vez podrían sacar algo con el bingo o quizás podríanhacer pasteles para la feria... ¡incluso podrían posar para un calendario como los bomberos! ¿y si hacen un croadfandinde esos de internet?

And as they fill up the seats around our table, we realize we wouldn&’t have it any other way. They&’re our Chicken-Fried Women—battered on the outside, tender on the inside. Some are salty and a couple are Nashville Hot. Filled with a hilarious cast of larger-than life women, this book explores why no one messes with Southern women and their hair, why the whole family comes along when you go bra shopping, why true crime and aquarobics brings us together, and how faith shapes us through it all. Insightful, big-hearted and laugh-out-loud funny, Chicken-Fried Women is a celebration of friendship, kinship and the women who shaped us.
