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.
