Teaser Tuesday - The Sweet Potato Queens' 1st Big-Ass Novel

Teaser Tuesdays are hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading.

It asks us to:

(1) Grab our current reads.

(2) Let the book fall open to a random page.

(3) Share two (or three) teaser sentences from that page somewhere between lines 7 and 12 (avoiding spoilers).

We're also supposed to share the book title and author so others can find the book themselves.

One of my best friends gave me a SPQ care package for Christmas and I'm loving the books and music. This novel is a fictionalized version of the growing-up years of the Boss Queen of The Sweet Potato Queens:

'Polka's fun,' Patsy offered.
'Good suggestion, Swiss Miss,' Mary Bennett said. 'I'm particularly fond of strip poker.'
Patsy frowned. 'I didn't say poker, I said --'
'Food,' Tammy said softly.
'That's the best idea yet,' Mary Bennett said, lighting a cigarette. 'We should open and close all meetings with the appropriate snack foods.'
