American Thighs: The Sweet Potato Queens' Guide to Preserving Your Assets Review
Jill's books are always laugh out loud funny! This isn't her BEST book - if you're looking for an introduction to the Sweet Potato Queens, I'd recommend reading "The Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love" - but if you know and love her, jump right in! There are plenty of laughs and yummy sounding recipes, too. Oh, one warning. My husband came out to ask why I was laughing my head off in the middle of the night, so I read the "offending" passage to him. He just shook his head and went back to bed muttering to himself. Oh well!
American Thighs: The Sweet Potato Queens' Guide to Preserving Your Assets Overview
Whether young enough to look �hot� or of the age to only feel that way (in flashes with buckets of sweat), every woman has given, or will give, ample thought to preserving her best �assets� (thighs included), so that the dread transition from �cute girl� to �ma�am� won�t be quite so unsettling.
Here are stories of growing up and learning about life � usually the hard way! From disastrous haircuts and color jobs to fashion or verbal faux pas committed, from the kiss wished for but never gotten to the one that should have been skipped, these are the moments that mark each of our journeys from what we thought back then to what we now know. Since to say that Youth is wasted on the Young has got to be the understatement of all time, it falls upon Browne, as one older and wiser, to take a �Hit and Run� down Memory Lane for the sake of offering �Asset-Preserving Tips,� with astonishing disclosures about:
� Why women have risked their lives just to get a little bit blonder
� How the muumuu has been fashionably resurrected as the �patio dress�
� Why it�s important to always have a good photo of yourself on hand � just in case
� How, no matter what skin you�re in, to make it last a lifetime
� Why you can never trust anyone over eighty-five

hysterical as always - Carrie Boedeker- - Wyoming
I LOVE the sweet potato queens and hadn't read the books in a long time. I was so excited to find them again and see there were some I hadn't read yet. The books always make me laugh!
Love The Southern Woman - R. Coleman - Green Ridge, MO USA
I love all of Jill Connor Brown's books. This one is just as great as the first one I ever picked up!
You could never be depressed after reading one of Jill's books. She gives you her own Southern brand of therapy.
She did it again! - Lane Springer -
Jill has gone back to her previous writing style and I love it! Couldn't wait for this book to hit the shelves (at Amazon that is!) so I could dive in:-)
